Description

Took this image about a year ago on 12/20/2022.

Hope to revisit. A visual delight!

The Double Cluster consists of the open clusters NGC 869 and NGC 884, which are close together in the constellation Perseus. Both visible with the naked eye, NGC 869 and NGC 884 lie at a distance of about 7,500 light years in the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way galaxy. Wikipedia
