Description

Object type : open star clusters
Distance : 6,781 lightyears

This evening, I took 2 seperate photos. First one, half an hour of NGC869, and after that I phptographed NGC884 for half an hour. I merged the 2 results in Astro Pixel Processor, and post processed in Afinnity Photo and Gimp. A nice photo with a much higher resolution came out, compared to a normal widefield photo of these clusters.
