[glenc (Glen)]

Melotte 105 is another interesting cluster that I saw last night. Dunlop describes it as "A rather bright nebula, about 2.5’ or 3’ long and 1' broad, in the form of a crescent, the convex side preceding; no condensation of the nebulous matter towards any point. This is easily resolvable into many stars of some considerable magnitude, arranged in pretty regular lines, with the nebula remaining, which is also resolvable into extremely minute stars. This is probably two clusters in the same line." (D271)
He discovered this when he started his catalog of 629 nebulae and clusters, on the first night, 27/4/1826.
Philibert Jacques Melotte cataloged it in 1915.
