Description

The Double Cluster (also known as Caldwell 14) 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 6.8k and 9.6k light years.

This image was with a dual refractor set, I used FSQ106 for RGB subs and TOA130 for Luminance subs.

Hope you like it!
