OPEN CLUSTERS


Glittering stars of many colours sprinkled across the view. Some bright, some not so bright, some appear as a rich grouping of jewels on a velvet background, while others are just a sparse scattering of faint lights. In their endless variety, open clusters are beautiful objects for the naked eye, binoculars, or a low magnification telescope.
