Teutsch 16, Offener Sternhaufen



Teutsch 16 is listed as an open star cluster in SIMBAD, but I could not find any further information about distance, magnitude or brightness. The apparent extent is given as 3-4' (arcminutes).

The star cluster "Teutsch 16" appears quite faint in my 20 inch telescope and is only clearly visible at a magnification of 270x. It appears oval with an irregular shape. There are about 20-25 faint single stars with 13...14mag and below. The stars are not evenly distributed, but there are star-poor regions in between. The background appears slightly brighter.
