IC348


IC 348 combines a young star cluster and a blue reflection sheen in Perseus.
IC 348 is a young cluster within a reflection‑nebula region of Perseus; dark dust filaments thread the field.
Despite the low altitude, the total integration lifts the faint nebular glow above the brightened sky.
At 250 mm and F/5, the result is a broad, textured widefield.
