Description

NGC 6882/6885 is an open cluster in the constellation of Vulpecula that can just about be seen with the naked eye and is easy with binoculars. Questions remain regarding if NGC 6882 and NGC 6885 are actually the same item but inadvertently noted as two by their discoverer William Herschel in 1784.
