NGC 869 & NGC 884 (h & χ Persei) - Double Cluster in the Constellation Perseus 2020-10-15.
Aberkenfig, South Wales
Lat +51.542 Long -3.593
Skywatcher 254mm Newtonian Reflector, Olympus E410 at prime focus. EQ6 Syntrek Mount.
A 3 pane mosaic of this well know pair of star clusters.
Also known as Caldwell 14.
Each pane consists of 10 light frames of 40s @ ISO 800
Processed with Deep Sky Stacker & Image Composite Editor
Not ideal viewing conditions as increasing cloud limited the amount of frames obtained. It seems that the focussing had slipped a little on the 3rd set of captures as well.
