The first time I came to Pex Hill somebody showed me what they called the ET cluster because it looked like ET. I cant find any reference to it under this name. Can anybody tell where it is located or tell me it's more common name.
Thanks
Les

Hi Les, the ET cluster or NGC457 can be found in Cassiopeia it is classed as an open cluster. It is not to far from Delta Cassiopeia or Ruchbah.

Hi Les, I believe this is one of Brendan's favourites.
It is better known as NGC 457 and can be found in Cassiopeia.
