Does anyone know the source of the name Deer Lick Cluster? Seems odd to me.



The name is reputedly due to Tomm Lorenzin, and commemorates a superb
observing session he had from a spot in North Carolina called Deer Lick
Gap.


I've seen Deer Lick as one and as two words. That would indicate two
words is the correct version.

Thanks for the info.
