Stars, Constellations And Asterisms
Scientific paper
M73 is an asterism of four stars which was recorded by Messier only as a help for the determination of the position of M72 (which is 1.5 degrees to the west). It is not entirely clear whether the group is a real cluster rather than a mere asterism. E M Arnal classified it as an open cluster in 1979, but this assertion does not seem to have been checked....
