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.

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.

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