Which cluster is this?
Posted: Mon Jun 18, 2012 10:59 pm
Hi,
I'm looking through my 8x42 binoculars and near Sagitarius I see a faint cluster of stars. It looks like a vertical line of stars.
Based on Stellarium, it could be NGC 6530, M21 or M20 ("Cluster associated with nebulosity").
Just based on my vague description ("a vertical line of stars"), can any of you help me figure out which of these it might be?
Thanks!
