NGC 869 and NGC 884, The Double Cluster in Perseus
Sketch and Details by Daniel Stępniak
Wonderful Double Cluster
This double cluster is one of my favourite objects. It’s visible with
every equipment, even naked eye. The view is really impressive so I made
a decision to sketch it.

Very good Daniel, I know just how hard open clusters are to sketch! I haven’t dare attempt the Double cluster yet ;o)
Warm regards, Dale
Daniel,
You not only pick your targets well you render them well too.

That’s right Dale. Open cluster is very hard object to sketch.

What a wonderful sight that double-cluster is! Thank you for reminding me that I need to get my telescope out and do some more viewing and sketching. A wonderful eyepiece view! Thanks! -Andy
