The White Rose
Caroline's Rose - also know as The White Rose - is one of the oldest open clusters know. It's located in a rich star field, close to the galactic plane, in the constellation Cassiopeia. This large cluster was discovered by Caroline Herschel (1783) and is an obvious omission from the Messier catalogue. The cluster contains more the 150 stars and is estimated to be 8k light years away. At this distance, its diameter is about 60 light years.
This beautiful cluster is located in a rich Milky Way star field and looks great in modest telescopes, and is easily seen with binoculars.
