| Description: | |||||||||||
| M47 is a large cluster containing a myriad of bright and faint members arranged more sparsely than nearby M46. The two clusters along with NGC 2423 provide a nice contrast when seen in binoculars or a telescope under low power. The random arrangement of this open cluster makes for interesting patterns. | |||||||||||
