| Description: | |||||||||||
| A nice open cluster containing several hundred stars. The brightest star in view is an 8th magnitude orange star which is not a true cluster member, but merely a star which lies along the same line of sight. M52 is easily spotted in binoculars. A telescope accentuates this cluster's fainter members. The Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635) is a mere 34" away and both objects can be glimpsed in the same field of view. | |||||||||||
