NGC884 (Open Cluster, in Perseus)
Observer: Michael Amato (e-mail: abigmick@aol.com)

This evening, my brother Anthony & I used our computerized 127mm MAK for our observing session. The Double Cluster was beyond great & it is my absolute favorite open clusters. We also observed other open clusters along with some nice double stars. We then inspected The Pleiades open cluster for nebulosity around its stars with a nebula filter. The star Merope's nebulosity was so good, we were able to see its actual shape. The star Maia also had a lot of nebulosity around it also. In the Hyades, we were able to observe open cluster NGC 1647 which turned out to be a really nice open cluster. There was a fine double star right in the middle of the cluster. We completed the evening by observing Jupiter, Saturn Ceres, Uranus & Neptune. What an evening!

NGC869 appears fainter than NGC884(which is smaller but brighter,with four stars resolved).The double cluster is located in Perseus,but it can be easily find starting from delta and epsilon Cassiopeae.NGC 884represents the top of an isosceles triangle formed with delta&epsilon Cas.On the right of NGC884 is an optical double star and above it a beautiful star formation like an arch with eight main components...

Observer: Joe Caggiano (e-mail: jcaggiano@mindspring.com)
Instrument: 6-inch equatorial reflector Location: Horsham, Pa., USA

Decided to use my Celestron 15x70 Skymaster Binos due to having company over and did not have the 6" reflector cooled down. The Double Cluster also was very obvious and the amount of stars in the FOV is always overwhelming to me. Last week while using the 6" reflector the number of starts was quadrupled. Definetly one of my favorite clusters.
