NGC 2477 is a moderately bright and very rich open cluster in Puppis. The individual stars are not particularly bright, however the richness of the cluster makes for a fine view in the telescope. NGC 2477 is one of the richest open clusters in the sky and deserves to be much better known.
A little to the west (right) of NGC 2477 is the very scattered open cluster NGC 2451.
