M 46 (NGC 2437) & NGC 2438

RA 07:42:14.080 Dec -14:50:28.854
Colour RGB 120000 ms
The planetary nebula NGC 2438 is visible at top left. It appears to lie within the cluster but it is most likely unrelated since it does not share the cluster's radial velocity. This is an example of a superposed pair.
