Full #Moon & #astrophotography don't make a good mix, except on star clusters or emission nebulae...so here goes for the Persei double cluster (NGC884 & NGC869) and the Horse Head #nebula (IC434) in H-alpha. Images shot yesterday.
Aren't those cute 😊?
What do you see @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social ?
Picture of the Persei double star cluster shot from a backyard. The clusters form two lumps of stars around the center of the image. A black and white picture of Horse Head nebula (IC434) shot in H-alpha with the Flame nebula to the side of the picture. Wisps of matter are leaving the hydrogen region and leaving kind of darker streaks on the background.

This image is a zoomed in version of a larger field of view to put the emphasis on the shape of the Horse Head.

More clusters… here is a fresh view of #ngc869 / #ngc884 #TheDoubleCluster. #seestar #s50 #space #astronomy #amateur
NGC 869 / NGC 884 Double Cluster - telescope processed image with Moon and Sky Light Filter. The Double Cluster in Perseus, NGC 869 and NGC 884, is a famous pair of stunningly rich, young open star clusters. They contain hundreds of hot, blue-white giant stars. NGC 869 / NGC 884 Double Cluster - unprocessed image with Moon and Sky Light Filter. The Double Cluster is incredibly young—only about 12.8 million years old. Its light has traveled 7,500 years to reach us, leaving around the time ancient human civilizations began.

NGC 869 h Persei and NGC 884 x Persei Star Clusters - telescope processed image with Moon and Sky Light Filter. A magnificent pair of young open star clusters (h Persei and x (chi) Persei) in the constellation Perseus. They are visible to the naked eye as a hazy patch and sparkle with hundreds of hot, blue supergiant stars.

Though over 7,000 light-years away, the Double Cluster is one of the most distant objects you can spot with the naked eye from a dark location.

ペルセウス座にある散開星団の二重星団. NGC869 と NGC884 という 2 つの散開星団が並んでいるため, この名前が付いています. 天の川の中にあって, 肉眼でもボヤッと見えます. 双眼鏡で見ると, 星が視野いっぱいに広がっていてきれいです.

Breathtaking image of the Double Cluster (h and chi Persei, NGC 869 and NGC 884) in the constellation Perseus. These two open star clusters, visible to the naked eye under dark skies, are only a few hundred light-years apart and share a similar age, suggesting a common origin. Cataloged by Hipparchus in 130 BC, they're a stunning binocular target, showcasing bright, young stars against the backdrop of the night sky.

Stunning image of the Double Cluster (NGC 869 & NGC 884) in the Perseus constellation. These two open star clusters, easily visible with binoculars, are only a few hundred light-years apart and share a similar age, suggesting a common origin. Cataloged by Hipparchus in 130 BC, they are a breathtaking sight from dark skies, showcasing a rich tapestry of young, hot stars against the backdrop of the cosmos.

A stunning wide-field image of the Double Cluster (NGC 869 and NGC 884) in the Perseus constellation. The vibrant image showcases two prominent open star clusters, surrounded by reddish emission nebulae and countless stars. A smaller, fainter open cluster, NGC 957, is visible in the upper left. This color composite highlights hydrogen gas emission, revealing the intricate details of this rich star-forming region approximately 7,000 light-years away.

A stunning long-exposure photograph captures a bright Perseid meteor streaking across the night sky above Busko-Zdroj, Poland. The meteor's trail is vividly displayed against the backdrop of countless stars from the Milky Way Galaxy. In the distance, the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is also visible, a testament to the vastness of space. The image showcases the beauty of the Perseid meteor shower, highlighting a cosmic event millions of light-years away.

Between constellations Cassiopeia and Perseus, the Double Cluster (NGC 869 & NGC 884) sparkles with 7,500-year-old light, as a satellite streaks through orbit.

This is my image of the Double Cluster #NGC869 and #NGC884 in Perseus, located 7460 light years away. These look great in binoculars and can be seen with the naked eye as a small smudge under dark skies #astrophotography #cluster #space #stars
Two clusters of bright stars of varying colours, there are also lots of fainter stars in the background.

(1/2) #Astrophotography during the dark of the moon.
This is the Double Cluster (NGC869 and NGC884) in the constellation Perseus. The two open clusters are 7500 light years from earth.
I took this photo with a 2" refractor and a 16 minute exposure.
Two large clusters of stars-- one in the upper right and one in the lower left.
