Overview

â„šī¸
HSC 712 is a sparse, very loose object of intermediate C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a very large* distance, near the mid-plane, affected by very high extinction. It is catalogued as a very massive, intermediate-age cluster (see Parameters). It was recently reported in the literature.

(*): The parallax distance estimate (~17.30 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~12.60 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.
