Double Cluster NGC869 & NGC884 (with a meteor striking across)

This pair of clusters are about 7000 light years away from us. They are beautiful targets for binocular and small telescopes. Located in the constellation Perseus, it may be visible to naked eyes if sky is dark enough.

This is a combination of data from two cameras, 294MM and 294MC, with a total of 7.4 hours of exposures.

A bright meteor struck across one of the frames, and it is superimposed here in the final stacked image
