NGC 752

On this page I collect my observations of the open star cluster NGC 752 in the constellation Andromeda.

Introduction

Stoyan characterizes the open star cluster NGC 752 in the constellation Andromeda as a typical object for binoculars; it is the only bright open star cluster in this constellation. In a Vespera mosaic, the spiral galaxies NGC 797, NGC 801, and IC 179 (all in constellation Andromeda) are included, but not really recognizable, because they are so far away...
