Default ASTRO: NGC 2158

I can see why its a favorite. Very nicely imaged Rick. Clear Skyz, LA

This is the open cluster I meant to image when I got 1133. 2158 has
been a favorite of mine in the C14 at Hyde Memorial Obs. where I was a
supervisor for 27 years. Looked more like a globular than an open
cluster. Now that I have imaged it in color and see most of its stars
are red it has something else in common with a globular. It must be
rather old. Anyone have anything on this? The cluster is in the same
very low power field with M35. That's way too big for this scope! Like
the other images posted tonight it was lost and forgotten from two
months ago and 4 a.m. My mind doesn't remember much that time of the
morning. Reduced by one third to hide lousy seeing.

14" LX200R @ f/10, 6x5 lum, 3x5 RGB, STL-11000M, Paramount ME
