From the
NGC / IC Project: Contemporary Visual Observation(s) for NGC 1348 NGC 1348 = OCL-391 = Lund 112 03 34 09 +51 25.2 Size 6 18" (11/23/05): at 225x, this unimpressive cluster appears ~4'x3', elongated NW to SE with roughly 20 stars resolved. Includes two mag 10.5-11.5 stars, a few mag 12 stars with the remainder mag 13-15. The stars are fairly evenly distributed with a couple of tight clumps of stars on the south side. Appears fairly well-detached in a low power field, though not eye-catching. Located two degrees NE of Alpha Persei (Mirphak). - by Steve Gottlieb |
