Messier 35 - The Shoe-Buckle Cluster

Messier 35, also known as NGC 2168 or the Shoe-Buckle Cluster, is a relatively close open cluster of stars in the constellation of Gemini. It was discovered by Philippe Loys de Chéseaux around 1745 and independently rediscovered by John Bevis before 1750. It is scattered over part of the sky almost the size of the full moon and is 2,970 light-years away from Earth.

There are 305 stars that are extremely likely to be members, and as many as 4,349 stars that are at the same distance and have the same proper motion. Equipment:
