Any clue which cluster this may be?

Hi Commanders,

i'm on an exploration some 2200 LYs out to the west, heading towards the cave nebula. And since a while i'm spotting a tight cluster of stars when in system view, almost in the same direction (i.e. to west +- some 5 degrees). Unfortunately i cannot find such a cluster in the direction i assume it to be when in the galaxy map, even if i switch to realist view.

Any hints?


thx + fly safe

Search for S171 and you will find a cluster of O Types with a Lot of Black Holes.

Great, thanks a lot for the fast replies. Found it on the galaxy map (just ~ 750 LYs to go) and marked it as next target :-)

Yep, it should be this nebula. If you can see it directly from your cocpit, target should be max 1000ly from your position.

Ah NGC 7822, one of my most favourite clusters, well worth the visit.
