Stock 11 is a class IV 2 p open cluster located in Cassiopeia. The cluster is the small grouping of stars at the right center of the image. My planetarium program seemed to indicate that it was the grouping at the center of the image but simbad shows no clusters at that location. This is one of 24 open clusters compiled by Jurgen Stock in the 1950s. A full list can be found here - http://www.deepskypedia.com/wiki/List:Stock (when and if the reference comes back online) or here - http://adsbit.harvard.edu//full/2001JRASC..95..194M/0000196.000.html.
