Description

NGC 869 is an open cluster located ~7,600 light years away in the constellation of Perseus. The cluster is most likely around 13 million years old.

NOTE: This is a wide field test of a newly acquired AT65EDQ. I was fighting with the full moon tonight, of course, making this more difficult than it would be at new moon. I also ran out of night sky and into some clouds as I'd set SGP for 40 x 240 second frames, but only got 25.
