NGC 6885 (Caldwell 37 and others) is a trumpler class III 2 p open cluster located approximately 1,950 light-years away in Vulpecula. This one also appears to be cataloged as NGC 6882. There are also two Collinder designations that appear to be reversed. Stephen James O’Meara’s Deep-Sky Companions: The Caldwell Objects has more information.
