On this page I collect my observations of the open star cluster NGC 2169 in the constellation Orion.

 

Introduction

The open star cluster NGC 2169 in the constellation Orion is small and contains a double star. With the Vespera, I was able to photograph it together with the open star cluster NGC 2194 as a mosaic. With the Vespera Pro, I photographed it alone.
