After the double cluster in Berenice’s hair, here is another field also presenting an open double cluster but this time in the constellation of Auriga.
M38 and NGC1907 located at around 3500LY and 5000LY respectively are dated to around 300 million years old.
The very unstable weather for several months got the better of this target where I was only able to land “only” 10 hours on it.
