It was so easy to find these two in my field of vision… almost like they rather found me instead! I did not see anything “fuzzy” about the two… which is something I sort of half expected, but it was a perfect crystal clear night and every star was sharp. So far, this is the most complicated star field I’ve drawn.

Jen,
A beautiful and well executed observation of the Double Cluster (NGC 869/884) in Perseus. This is one of my favorite clusters to look at. Thank you for sharing it with us all.
