Star clusters & other objects

by kforshaw12

It would be really helpful if the examples were shown marked in the tutorial as well as bubbles and green knots! There's such a variety in the appearance of star clusters, fuzzy red objects & the like that it's sometimes difficult to know what to mark.

Hi, Some way to annotate images would be nice. So I don't know if in image AMW0000zft of your examples - whether you noticed there are two star clusters or only one?

Hi! In a discussion thread, you can use the yellow star icon on the rich text editor to annotate a region of the image to highlight what you're talking about.

How do I draw out a star cluster? Do i mark out the individual stars and indicate each star as a star cluster?

Just mark the whole cluster as a 'cluster' 😛

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)?

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

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.

Are there any variations besides what is shown?

I agree with citizennc

Are red concentric degradees also cluster as are blue ones?

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

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

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.

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.
