The Double Cluster
NGC 869 / NGC 884 its known under the names Sword Handle, or as Chi-h Persei.
With the naked eye it appears as a misty patch in the Milky Way, but in almost
any telescope it makes a glorious spectacle.
Image obtained through a Megrez triplet Apo 80mm/480mm on Canon EOS 300D (3x5 minutes manualy guided on Losmandy GM8).
My old image (year 1996.) obtained through a C8
at f 6,3 with 5 min. exp. on Fujicolor super G+800. On the image is
visible trails of the satellites.
