Two different Hubble images of C71 are shown side-by-side, with a ground-based observatory's more zoomed-out image in the upper right.

C71 Image Comparison

The ground-based image in the upper right, from the European Southern Observatory (ESO), provides a wide view of the star cluster Caldwell 71 (NGC 2477). Blue and orange outlines show the locations of Hubble’s Caldwell 71 observations using the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2).
