Hey all

I imaged this few nights ago and lost around 1.30 hrs data.. Shame!!

NGC 663 due to interstellar dust, the distance modulus is estimated as 11.6 magnitudes. It is located about 2,100 parsecs distant with an estimated age of 20–25 million years

NGC 659 is an open cluster in the Cassiopeia constellation. It was discovered by Caroline Herschel in 1783.

NGC 654 is an open cluster visible in the constellation of Cassiopeia ; It is located in the Perseus arm at a distance of about 7800 light years from the solar system .

IC 166 is small open star cluster in Cassiopeia

A lot of interesting facts and objects can be discovered in this image. See SIMBAD database for further details

Nice shot. The very rich star field almost overwhelms the clusters
