Description

Cluster City, Cassiopeia. Biggest open cluster in image is NGC 663. Above it, upper right, is NGC 654, and nearby dark nebulae LDN 1332, 1334, and 1337. To left of center is dimmer (magnitude 12) open cluster, IC 166. At bottom edge near right corner is NGC 659. Experimental use of Starizona Apex ED-L 0.65x reducer on A-P 130 f/6, resulting f/3.9. But not really a success, got poor star shapes in corners.
