Ken, according to the NGC/IC Project that contains Herschel's notes, NGC133
and NGC146 are the results of two different observations. This being the
case, then King 14 is another, third, observation. Hence, I'd say they are
three separate clusters.
Now the interesting question . . . are these three one physical cluster or are
they related in some physical way? I would have to spend some time searching
SIMBAD and VIZIER to see if there are any papers on this topic. I will, as
time permits, but if someone beats me to it that would be okay because I'm not
sure how long this would take me. Primarily because of experience searching
these sites and the time constraint.
Clear skies,
aj
