The White Rose Open Star Cluster (NGC 7789)

Comprised of over 300 suns, this very rich open cluster adorns the Northern Milky Way inside the constellation Cassiopeia. Visually through a small 80mm refractor, the individual stars are unresolved and appear nebulous. However, stacking 22 x 90 second exposures using Images Plus and PS5 a myriads of stars become visible. This object was imaged using an Orion Short Tube 80 and a Canon XS DSLR ISO800.
