Six Little Clusters In Cassiopeia

[jcm]

A few gaps in the clouds last night. I remember reading in " Practical Astronomer" an article about six small clusters , which with a field of view of 2 deg , you could see/image all of them in one go. With nothing better to do I managed 4 X 4min exp using the 130mm APO at F6 and the Canon 350D at 800 ISO. I have included an image with some labels as some of the clusters are a bit obscure.

PS The labels are below the clusters and North is to the left.

Thanks all. Funny thing is that if it had not been for the limited amount of clear sky I would probably not have bothered with this one.
