Description

NGC 7789 is a a open cluster that lies in Cassiopeia. It was discovered by Caroline Herschel in 1783. Her brother William Herschel included it in his catalog. 
Named for its appearance to a rose, when viewed visually, its loops of stars and dark lanes look like a swirling pattern  of rose petals. It lies 6,000 light years away.

This is the first time I used the ZWO 533McPro with my AT 92 Refractor. I like the way it brings objects in closer compared to my 071 McPro.
