NGC884
About this celestial object
The double star cluster h and χ Persei sparkles like two jewels in Perseus.
These two young open clusters lie in Perseus and belong to the Perseus Arm of our Galaxy; on dark nights they appear to the unaided eye as a milky patch.
About 44 minutes of integration at low altitude emphasize the star-rich surroundings; at 250 mm both clusters fit harmoniously within the same field.
