Open Clusters

Sixteen of Dunlop's open clusters are not NGC or IC objects.
They are from:
Mel: Melotte (1915)
Tr: Trümpler (1930)
Cr: Collinder (1931)
Mrk: Markarian (1951)
Lynga (1964)
Ru: Ruprecht (1966) and
H: Harvard (1979)
Dunlop actually found these OC first, before they were listed in the above catalogs.
