Messier 46 or M46, also known as NGC 2437, is an open cluster of stars in the slightly southern constellation of Puppis.
The planetary nebula NGC 2438 appears to lie within the cluster near its northern edge (the faint almost rainbow array of colored smudge at the top-center of the image), but it is most likely unrelated since it does not share the cluster's radial velocity.
