Overview

â„šī¸
Teutsch 66 is a moderately populated, very dense object of high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a moderate distance, near the mid-plane, affected by high extinction. It is catalogued as a near-solar metallicity, intermediate-age cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the mass parameter (see Parameters). It is well-studied in the literature.
Distant High extinction Near-solar metallicity Intermediate age
