NGC 752 (Caldwell 28)

This loose open cluster in Andromeda is rather old for
such clusters (1.6 billion years). It is 1300 light years
from earth. While open clusters are generally not the
most interesting photographic objects, you might be able
to spot a few tiny background galaxies in the full size
version.
