This beautiful object, a combination of an emission nebula (NGC 6618) and open cluster (also NGC 6618), was discovered by Chesaux in the spring of 1746, before it was rediscovered by Messier in June of the same year.
NGC 253 is 30′x 7′, with a visual magnitude of 7.6 and a surface brightness of 13.2.
NGC 891 lies inside this trapezoid, just to the northwest of the most eastern star (on the image below, South is up and West is to the Left).
