Description

Stock 2 is an often over looked open cluster, not far from the more famous Double Cluster in Cassiopeia. Nicknamed the Muscle Man cluster because of a headless stick man aster-ism in it. (I don't see it) At a relatively close distance of 1000+ light years, the cluster is spread out over a larger area. The image spans almost 2X2 degree field.
