Westerlund 2 is the second member of the two member Westerlund catalogue of obscured open clusters. It's not as spectacular an object as Westerlund 1.

Cheers

Not a big cluster but it is nicely embedded behind a good amount of interesting Ha

Yes it's hardly a spectacular object but I always think it's good to track down the obscure stuff
