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. ..

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.
