Double Cluster
One of my favorite objects. Lots of different colored stars.

I think I got hooked on this object during a period of
about 4 years when the only 'scope I owned was a Pronto.
This 'scope though limited in aperture, showed off bright clusters admirably.
With a 14mm Meade UW in the 2" diagonal, the double cluster was the highlight
of every observing session where it was well placed.

unsung treasure in the sky,overlooked to a certain degree(in my view)because it does not carry a messier number!In a medium scope using a low power wide field eyepiece it is simply stunning.

Simply beautiful! Even from light-polluted skies. Although spectacular from a dark-sky site. Close-call between this, M13, and M42.

Double Cluster was one of the first views in my ETX-90. Having looked at DSO "smudges" all night, the Dbl Cluster was a pleasant diversion and is a true diamond in the sky.

Yes, nice and easy, but not that marvelous once you have been fishing for globulars/clusters around the Scorpious tail or thereabout

Absolutely beautiful! Looks wonderful when viewed through a wide-field, large-aperture 'scope.

I love the overall view of this cluster especially with the Home brew 8" Binoculars I was allowed to use at a star party one evening. The Wide angle and depth of view was truely breathtaking.

Double Cluster
The best open star cluster(s) in the sky, and the best non-messier object. The Northern Jewel Box, but a twin set. A chance alignment of two different star clusters not acually associated with one another (or so I understand). Wide field viewing perscribed!

A correction: The NGC designations are 869 and 884 (not 88).
