Description

The Double Cluster (also known as Caldwell 14) consists of the open clusters NGC 869 and NGC 884 (often designated h Persei and χ (chi) Persei, respectively), 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.  (Source)

First light with the ZWO ASI2600MC Pro.  We fought clouds and equipment issues all night, but managed to snap a few short (unguided) frames during a small break in the weather.
