Description

My Tamron pushed to 1200 mm hit again. It captured this pair of interesting objects.

NGC 1807 is not an open cluster of stars but an asterism, that is, the stars that compose it are arranged in a random order and are not linked by a significant gravitational interaction.

While NGC 1817 is a real open cluster consisting of many stars.
