설명

NGC 2360 is an open cluster in Canis Major, about 3,700 light-years away. It is a rich, well-concentrated cluster containing about 80 stars within 13 arcminutes, with an age of roughly 2.2 billion years.

관측 팁

A fine cluster in a 4-inch telescope at medium power. The background Milky Way star field adds to the view. Many of the cluster stars are similar in brightness, giving it an even, grainy appearance. Best in winter evenings.

역사
