This is a 300mm shot of the dazzling star cluster NGC 7789, or Caroline's Rose, as it is more poetically named after its discoverer, Caroline Herschel. The open
cluster in Cassiopeia, according to some sources, is about 8000 light-years away. As open clusters go, it is very old, 1.6 billion years. The picture also shows that it
is incredibly rich. In winter it can be found high up in the sky with almost every instrument, even small binoculars.
