Description

My sky was clear tonight for a change. However there was a Quarter Moon up and the sky

could not be considered dark. Because of the Moon I had trouble deciding what to image.

As I looked around the sky I noticed that Cassiopeia was about as far away from the Moon

as I could get. So I decided that I would image NGC 7789 again. I last imaged it back in

July but it was very low in the sky and in light pollution which was not ideal for imaging.

Tonight it was high in the sky and pretty much above the light pollution. How could I pass

up a Deep Sky object named Caroline's Rose. This has always been one of my favorite

clusters and I don't understand why it isn't imaged more. I can't even count the number of times

I've viewed this object through an eyepiece. If I'm stargazing and it is visible I'm going to

view it. Please enjoy my most recent image of NGC 7789.

Description: My image looked fine to me on my desktop monitor. However when I
posted it to Astrobin I did not like the way it looked. I decided to flatten
the background a little.
