Merger of NGC 2264 and Christmas Tree Cluster[edit]

Merge to NGC 2264, and change Christmas Tree Cluster to redirect.--mikeu 20:39, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - seems the same, why "sometimes incorrectly referred as NGC 2264"? Obrez (talk) 07:38, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Doubts. In the NGC 2264 article this cluster is defined as part of the titled object, isn't it?
«The diffuse Cone Nebula, so named because of its apparent shape, lies in the southern part of NGC 2264, the northern part being the magnitude-3.9 Christmas Tree Cluster.»

So, we have NGC 2264 – and two (other^?) objects within it, don't we? Well, I'd like to learn about the cluster!.. Lincoln Josh (talk) 11:22, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
