M : numero dell'oggetto Messier (Charles Messier è stato il primo a compilare un catalogo degli oggetti celesti)

NGC : new general catalogue

RA , Dec : ascensione retta, declinazione.

Con : settore - costellazione in cui si trova l'oggetto

Mag: magnitudine, scala di luminosita' di un astro Size : è la larghezza angolare misurata in primi d'arco

Typ : tipo di oggetto

OCl : open cluster, ammasso aperto di stelle, le stelle sono abbastanza distanti tra loro da riuscire a percepire e misurare la distanza relativa, cosa che non succede nei 'globular clusters' (ammassi globulari).

Distance: 0.4 , è una misura in parsec (parallasse /secondo d'arco) 1 parsec è la distanza alla quale una unita' astronomica appare sotto un angolo di un secondo d'arco.

1 u.a. è la distanza media terra-sole ossia circa 149.000.000 km
