NGC 2192 in Auriga
Date of Obs ..... January 17, 2021 |
Another open cluster in Auriga is NGC 2192, located on the eastern side of the pentagon. I thought it was easy to locate as the bright stars starting with θ Aurigae align in a way pointing right to where NGC 2192 is. Once located, however, I thought it was difficult to see owing to its faintness and the sparseness of the brighter stars. I could make out about 5 to 7 of the stars with direct vision although they were very faint; below that I saw an unresolved haze of rather indistinct form. |
