NGC 7788 NGC 7790 area in Cassiopeia

Taken on 10/19/2008

Televue NP101
Celestron CGE unguided
Modified Canon 350XT
62*90 second 800 iso sub exposures

75% illuminated moon present

This turned out to be on interesting project for me.
I expected to image 2 faint open clusters in Cassiopeia and wound up with 4 clusters and an obscure Sharpless Nebula.

The open clusters are Berkley 58 (left and above center), NGC 7790 (center), NGC 7788 (below and right of center) and King 12 (right lower corner). At the left lower corner lies the emission nebula SH2-168. Thanks to JD McCrady's thread on Cloudy Nights for identifying the objects.
