On this page I collect my observations of the open star cluster NGC 2374 in the constellation Canis Major/Great Dog.
The open star cluster NGC 2374 in the constellation Canis Major/Great Dog is located near the nebula Thor's Hammer (NGC 2359); the Vespera can photograph both together in mosaic mode.
