Overview

ℹ️

Collinder 254 is a rich, very dense object of very high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a moderate distance, above the mid-plane, affected by moderate extinction. It is catalogued as a massive, near-solar metallicity, old cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the metallicity parameter (see Parameters). It is very well-studied in the literature.

Relatively close Moderate extinction Massive Near-solar metallicity Old
