Went out again tonight and shot Perseus to see how it would turn out and I'm pleased. Even managed to get a smudge of the California Nebula!

Like this one a lot mate, you've got Kemble's cascade in there if I am not mistaken?

What is that lines of stars near the upper right corner?

that is a really good question actually! Astrometry.net on flickr.com didn't make any note of that.

:Scampers off to Stellarium:

it's in stellarium the big star that marks the second line of stars on the right is HIP 18505 of Camelopardalis.

more research tells me it's called Kemble's Cascade! thanks for pointing that out.

aside from that I love the way NGC 884 and NGC 869 look...such a beautiful double cluster.

Nicely done...... yep its Kembles cascade...

Auriga makes a nice widefield target... and you will love Cygnus when its better placed....
