    Star clusters are bright closely grouped stars, they may be seen behind bubbles - they are not part of a bubble, as they are outside of it.

    This does not help much, only some of these images have blue dots close together and nothing is marked to show what we should be looking at.

    Hard to tell. You'd have to know if it were coincidental or if the stars actually were within the bubble.

    Have seen 3 or 4 times lines of blue stars in the limits of bubbles or could-be bubbles. Are these star clkusters?

    Are red concentric degradees also cluster as are blue ones?

    Are there any variations besides what is shown?

    I think in 5 and 6 the clusters are the big bright stars next to the bigger bubbles. 5 bottom right towards middle 6 mid-left in upper part.

    Can you mark the star clusters in these examples? That would help. Maybe you could also identify all areas of interest on these images.

    Pics 5 and 6 overlap: same structure at the bottom (#5) or top (#6). Could it be that the cluster is the bright sample bottom left (#5)?

    Just starting, but in puctire #4 I would have guessed the blue spot at the very bottom as well.

    if this 4 dotes are the star cluster what is different between picture no.5 and no.6?

    I am having trouble identifying a cluster in the image that has three red-fuzzies below the yellow-red knot (4). Bottom-right fuzzy spot?

    In some images, such as Picture No. 5 star clastur is not seen

    I see the clusters. But because I was not given enough samples, such as the above, in the tutorials, I am sure that I may have missed some.
