Description

Open cluster 670 is that grouping of stars surrounding Alnilam (Eta Orionis), just right at the centre of the Orion's Belt. It has no significance per se but as a lodestone for all the treasures surrounding it, far too many to spell out here. It is also a useful guide to what the various objects look like (from a pristine sky) when imaged from my urban skies.
