NGC 6802

NGC 6802 is a Open Cluster in the Vulpecula constellation.  The Cluster lies at the E. End of the “Coat Hanger” asterism also called Brocchi’s Cluster (Collander 399) Just to the right of 7 Vul. The “rail” of the coat hanger leads, east, into 6802 an open star cluster of dozens of much more distant stars, likely mostly a true cluster (being gravitationally tied or associated).
