NGC 869 and NGC 884, imaged and processed by Alpha Zhang are both open star clusters located in the constellation of Perseus. These clusters are often referred to as the "Double Cluster" due to their close proximity in the sky. NGC 869 is slightly younger and denser than its counterpart, NGC 884. A new image set that produced this is available for download and processing in our image set repository, Starbase. 8 hours and 40 minutes of LRGBHa data were captured using the AFIL-26 remote telescope: https://lnkd.in/epVb-JBg #Doublecluster #NGC869 #ngc884 #astrophotography #astrophoto #astrographia #astrofotografie #astronomy #astro #insightobservatory #space #nightsky #telescope #universe #starrysky #nightphotography #cosmos #outerspace #skygemsremoteobservatories #starbase #deepskychile
