On this page I collect my observations of the globular star Cluster NGC 2425 in the constellation Puppis.
When I take a mosaic of M 46 and M 47 with the Vespera (Pro), the open star clusters NGC 2423 and NGC 2425 (both Puppis) also appear in the photo. NGC 2425 is located between M 46 and M 47 and fairly small.
