Moffat (open star clusters) (for example: Moffat 1 at 16:01:30 / -54°07'00" in Norma) Moitinho (open star clusters) (for example: Moitinho 1 at 8:19:17 / -45°12'30", southwest of the Gum Nebula, in Vela) MPC — Minor Planet Circulars contain astrometric observations, orbits and ephemerides of both minor planets and comets
The Collinder catalogue is a catalogue of 471 open clusters compiled by Swedish astronomer Per Collinder.It was published in 1931 as an appendix to Collinder's paper On structural properties of open galactic clusters and their spatial distribution.

An open cluster is a type of star cluster made of tens to a few thousand stars that were formed from the same giant molecular cloud and have roughly the same age. More than 1,100 open clusters have been discovered within the Milky Way galaxy, and many more are thought to exist. [1]
The Melotte catalogue is a catalogue of 245 star clusters compiled by British astronomer Philibert Jacques Melotte.It was published in 1915 as A Catalogue of Star Clusters shown on Franklin-Adams Chart Plates. [1]

An. 1-37 in Table 16 are Table 17 and constitute the Trumpler catalog of open clusters, referred to as "Trumpler (or Tr) 1-37; Robert Julius Trumpler, Harold F. Weaver 1962.
A stellar association is a very loose star cluster, looser than an open cluster. A moving group is the remnant of such a stellar association. [1] Members of stellar associations and moving groups share similar kinematic properties, as well as similar ages and chemical composition. The list (below) is sorted by the distance to the Solar System.
Map showing the location of NGC 752. NGC 752 (also known as Caldwell 28) is an open cluster in the constellation Andromeda.The cluster was discovered by Caroline Herschel in 1783 and cataloged by her brother William Herschel in 1786, although an object that may have been NGC 752 was described by Giovanni Batista Hodierna before 1654.
