Naming conventions for open clusters
It appears that specific clusters (see Category:Open_clusters) are generally named with a capital C (e.g. (Arches Cluster). This makes sense to me as it distinguishes a specific cluster from a more generic term such as Open cluster or Embedded cluster. However, there are exceptions e.g. Coronet cluster, Quintuplet cluster. What is the naming convention for clusters? Colonies Chris (talk) 09:37, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
- This is covered in the Capitalisation section of the guideline - capitalise if it's part of the proper noun. Modest Genius talk 15:05, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
