Default NGC1647 Open cluster - Help in field testing a draft cluster magnitude chart

Tony -

Just to follow-up; no response necessary.

The chart would be easier to use if the dot sizes were significantly smaller.


All charts have been updated with smaller dots, e.g. -

Correlating the star numbers on the correct-image chart with the magnitudes on the mirror-reversed chart was a minor nuisance.


An odd view (mirror) star number chart was added.

In a few cases, I was surprised that stars with fairly different listed
mags seemed about equally easy (or hard) to see. Notably, at 20X, #094
[9.7] seemed no brighter than #099 [10.0], and at 60X, #065 [9.6] seemed
little brighter than #066 [10.3].


The NGC1647 v8.0-13.0 chart homepage was beefed up to address the
distribution of Johnson color indices in the underlying tables:

Thanks again, Kurt
