In the same FOV ??

Hi Rob,

Only one that I can think of in the same FOV - the NGC 6528 and 6522 pair near Gamma Sagittari.

A few other pairs not too far apart that spring to mind are the GCs in Musca NGC 4833 and NGC 4372 and Omega Centauri (NGC 5139) & NGC 5286.

There are quite a lot of clusters in Scorpius, Sagittarius and Ophiuchus and many of them are only a few fields apart. A quick search there with a planetarium program should turn up a few more.

Ohhh ... nearly forgot. M53 and NGC 5053 are just under a degree apart in Coma Berenices too.


Best,

Les D
