FullDescription
The double Cluster in Pereseus is one of the first objects that I viewed through an eyepiece, and to me it is still one of the most stunning sights in the night sky. Unfortunately, I've never seen an image that comes close to capturing it's beauty. NGC869 has a "diamond ring" asterism at its centre which is a sight to behold.
