| Five billion year old M67 is one of the most ancient open clusters known. It is a bright cluster containing more than 500 stars, many of which are resolvable with binoculars, including a couple of prominent 8th magnitude stars and about 50 9th to 12th magnitude stars spread out over a 25' area. To appreciate this cluster's magnificence, a moderate sized telescope is required as it brings in the fainter members. | |||||||||||
