DoubleCluster_121022
Winter skies brings to us a very bright duo of two star clusters spaced by a half of a degree from each other in the northern regions of the constellation of Perseus. These two are visible by the naked eye from even a moderately dark sky and offer a stunning view in most any telescope. Ngc869 is shown to the upper right or west and Ngc 884 with it's golden stars to the lower left.
