Description

M35 is only about 2,970 light-years away and NGC 2158 is SW of it. The Fog rolled in and cut me short at only 20 x 180s.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messier_35NGC 2158 is an open cluster in the constellation of Gemini. It is, in angle, immediately southwest of open cluster Messier 35, and is believed to be about 2 billion years old.[2] The two clusters are unrelated, as the subject is around 9,000 light years further away.Once thought to be a globular cluster, it is now known to be an intermediate-age, metal-poor open cluster that is a member of the old thin disk population.[2]
