Cr 399-The Coathanger July 2025
Cr 399, Collinder 399, The Coat hanger or Brocchi's Cluster, is an asterism of 10 stars. The asterism is in the southern region of the constellation of Vulpecula, near to the border with the constellation of Sagitta. None of the ten stars are believed to be gravitationally bound to each other therefore they are not a star cluster. An additional 30 or so much fainter stars are considered by some to be part of the asterism.
This was a quick test run to try out a new guide camera added to my RedCat51 WIFD set up.
