spaceboy Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 So would this be correct? The amount of times I've observed this cluster and I've never made the connection. ? A good excuse to observe it again me thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshane Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I'd have thought it's the black and white peppered nature of the cluster? Not sure what your image is showing Nick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceboy Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 Looking down on a pair of Salt and pepper pots was my thinking behind the nickname. You often get one or two holes in the salt shaker (in this case the 2 brighter, orange (which itself could be the salt) and blue stars to the edge) and several in a pepper pot, being the main body of the cluster.
