An open cluster of stars, Collinder 76 consists of around 50 or so stars of mixed magniudes. Also known as NGC 2112, this unusual cluster resides in the galactic disc - an area of mostly very old, metal poor stars. It is believed that Collinder 76 is of a more intermediate age, based on photometric and spectroscopic data.
