Description

Open clusters NGC884, left, and NGC869 right are about 7600 light years from Earth and considered quite close to each other at "only" a few hundred light years apart. Wonderful to view in a small telescope, they are even visible to the naked eye from a very dark sight, appearing as a small patch of fog. North is at the top. The AT8RC is finally well collimated!
