Description

Located at the right bottom in this framing, Alpha Per moving cluster (Per OB3 association) is magnificent through binoculars. This region also includes some HII regions and a very interesting "chain" of dark nebulas in Camelopardalis, that may well deserve a revisit at longer focal length.

135mm, f/2.8, ISO2000
