It's been a while since we've posted anything here, but this is a quick glimpse into one of my favorite all time objects: the Double Cluster near Cassiopeia. This object comprises NGC 896 and 884, and is a striking sight through even a modest telescope. I have a special fondness for this cluster, as I first learned about it while just randomly scanning through the fall sky with an old 8" Dobsonian.
