Object(s): Trumpler 1 = Collinder 15
Category: Open cluster.
Class: I 3 p
Constellation: Cas
Data: mag 8,1 size 4,5'
Position: RA 01:35.6 DEC +61:18
Description:
This cluster is my problem child at the moment. I was sure I had seen it last
year on 11.09.99. But now I'm suddenly insecure. In my notes of my latest
observation I wrote: not sure, very small, almost star-shaped, still to
confirm. If it had really been a star I think I could have seen it with
direct vision. But I saw it only with averted vision as a fuzzy point.
The location where I saw the point suits to the entry of Tr 1 in Sky Atlas
2000.
