Description:
In the same field of M38, located at the south of this cluster. NGC 1893 is another cluster of low size. It presents a lengthened aspect and I distinguish 3 individual stars inside. The lengthening of stars is so marked that I have the impression to see a series of stars on a line. Impossible to see IC 410, nebula associated with this cluster. In any case, I would have been very surprised to be able to observe it...
