Notes: |
This rich open cluster is situated at the northern portion of a large (150' x 60') streamer of nebulosity called IC 2177, Sh2-292, LBN 1027, etc; also known as the "Seagull" or "Eagle" nebula. This large complex contains several more open clusters and named nebulous sections, well worth imaging in years to come |
