Overview

â„šī¸
CWNU 4678 is a sparse, very loose object of low C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a very large* distance, well below the mid-plane, affected by moderate extinction. It is catalogued as an old cluster (see Parameters). It was recently reported in the literature.

(*): The parallax distance estimate (~16.86 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~12.02 kpc).

âš ī¸ Warning: the low UTI value and no obvious signs of duplication (Cdup=1.0) indicate that this is quite probably an asterism, moving group, or artifact, and not a real open cluster.
