Description

A pair of open clusters in the constellation of Perseus at a distance of around 7600 light years. This caught my eye a few days ago when looking around Andromeda and Cassiopeia.

I think its quite an interesting double cluster due to the distinct red stars dotted among the blue stars.

Went for an object that required less processing........... how wrong was I, the background is a little mottled due to wisps of cloud and a rising moon.
