Description

This is a two-panel mosaic, one panel centered on NGC 884 and the second centered on NGC 869. This gives me the best star shapes for the central portions of each cluster (and my FOV is not quite wide enough to capture both clusters in a single frame anyway).

It was also captured during the first half of the night when the moon was up, so that I could image NGC 891 after the moon set.
