Overview

ℹ️

Cep C is a sparse, very loose object of low C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a large^* distance, above the mid-plane. It is catalogued as a cluster (see Parameters). It is rarely studied in the literature, with no articles listed in the last 23 years.

⚠️ Warning: This is possibly a duplicate object, which shares a significant percentage of members with at least one previously reported entry. See table with shared members information.

(*): The parallax distance estimate (~5.97 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~0.75 kpc).

⚠️ Warning: the low UTI value and no obvious signs of duplication (C_dup=0.48) indicate that this is quite probably an asterism, moving group, or artifact, and not a real open cluster.
