NGC 7062 -- Open Cluster in Cygnus
The Parallelogram Cluster
NGC 7062 is a small but distinctive Open Cluster in the constellation of the Swan. It is
readily recognized by four stars that form a Parallelogram, or swashed diamond-shape,
that roughly frames the dimmer stars within the cluster. The name Parallelogram Cluster
is what I call it, but it has no real accepted common name that I am aware of.
