| Description: | |||||||||||
| A large open cluster with many bright and fainter members. This populous cluster is easily seen in binoculars along with nearby NGC 1907, a smaller 8th magnitude open cluster. A combination of brighter stars, double stars and dark lanes make it a delightful site. M38 is relatively old for an open cluster, having formed 220 million years ago. | |||||||||||
