One of the good things about being located in southern latitudes is access to a fine range of clusters that are well placed to image and easily accessible for most of the night. IC2602 is circumpolar at our latitudes (33.5d south) which provides for plenty of opportunities to grab some data, even during busy moon times.
This image includes the Southern Pleiades (IC2602) and the open cluster Mellote 101 off to the left of the frame. I had to go hunting to find a catalogue reference for Mellote 101 which I did not recall seeing previously. Just proves that you learn something new every day (or night)
I think that these two open clusters make for a fine comparison between the very bold, hot blue/white stars of IC2602 and the more composed and discreet gathering of stars in Mellote 101.
