This is NGC869 often called the "Double Cluster". Iit consists of two open star clusters at a magnitude of 3,80 in the constellation of Perseus, some 6781.7 light years away.

Sky was so terrible with the moon and upper level smoke this was limited to 6 exposures of 240 seconds.

Mosaics Larry, mosaic. I can hook ya up with a couple vids (not mine) that explain and show how to do it in Pix and/or APP. If I can do it anyone can!
 
I have the same scope as you, familiar with those targets. Talk to ya soon. I forget not everyone is retired like me, so they can't shoot every night..... with this inflation I wish I had a JOB!

Don't even get me started on the economy... I'm supposed to retire in 5 years and now that's questionable...

Yours may be even worse than ours. Guess it could be worse we could live in cold Europe....

Think some of those may already be in the Galley -> Guide section since I found Andromeda blew out of my capture zone for my ASI533MM Pro.

Retiree hand raised here... and I'm an "old" 58.

:cool:
 
Yup, M31 will almost all fit in the FOV with my ASI183MM P in the SharpStar 61. On a diagonal...

Here is M31 with the ASI533MC P and
