Thank you to you to, Anthony for your positive comments! Ann, Thank you for your very interesting and clear explanation about the age of the Double Cluster. Even if the foundation of the most accredited claim seems to be consistent and supported by theory and facts, your second idea of "individ...

First of all, I would like to thank everybody, personally and on behalf of my friends of ASTROBRALLO, for the nice comments about our picture of the Double Cluster and the explanations about it. Despite the open clusters are probably not the main target for the amateur astronomers, I love them. Firs...
