Congratulations on this excellent venture… what a great idea!

I use WIKI 2 every day and almost forgot how the original Wikipedia looks like.
What we do. Every page goes through several hundred of perfecting techniques; in live mode. Quite the same Wikipedia. Just better.
Great Wikipedia has got greater.

NGC 2266 is an open cluster[5] of stars in the constellation of Gemini. It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 7 December 1785.[6] This is a relatively dim cluster with an integrated visual magnitude of 9.5 and an angular size of 5.0′. The stellar members can be readily resolved with an amateur telescope.[3] NGC 2266 is located at a distance of 10,603 ly (3,251.0 pc) from the Sun.[2] It is located close to the opposite part of the sky from the galactic center, or the anti-center.[7]

This is a rich cluster that is well condensed.[8] It is of intermediate age; similar to the ages of the Hyades and Praesepe clusters. However, it has a lower metallicity than either cluster.[7] NGC 2266 has a heliocentric radial velocity of −16±15 km/s.[9] A 2008 study found 12 variable stars in the field of this cluster, although they lie outside the cluster radius.[8] A single candidate blue straggler has been identified.[10]
