Overview

ℹ️

NGC 6596 is a sparse, very loose object of low C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a moderate^* distance, near the mid-plane, affected by low extinction. It is catalogued as an intermediate-age cluster (see Parameters). It is moderately studied in the literature.

(*): The parallax distance estimate (~2.71 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~1.10 kpc).

Relatively close Low extinction Intermediate age
