Description

The so called "Sailboat Cluster" in the constellation Cassiopeia may not be the most exciting deep sky object but I do love those asterisms like the "Owl", the "Big Dipper" or of course the well known "Coathanger".
For those who do have problems seeing the "sailboat" I've added a cropped a slightly rotated version and connected the single stars to form the sailboat!
