Description:
Away from the already described clusters around NGC 2244 and NGC 2264 there
is another Collinder cluster at the border of Monoceros to Orion. I hopped
from NGC 2244 in south-eastern direction and found Cr 91 at a small triangle
of 7m stars. At the first moment I weren't able to glimpse a cluster, but
with averted vision I spotted a few stars glittering around one of the three
7m stars. I estimate the number to about 6 stars.
