Description:
Trumpler 2 is easy to find when you point your scope to Eta Persei. Now Tr 2
forms a rectangular triangle with 11 Persei. It is located next to the 7.4m
star SAO 23469. In my scope it appeared quite small and bright. I saw it less
concentrated with only a few stars, perhaps five or six.
