The Double Cluster in Perseus (NGC 884 and NGC 869) is at upper left. The Double Nebulae, at right, are two large complexes of faint emission nebulosity in Cassiopeia. LBN 667 is at upper right. IC 1805 is at lower right. Both are red hydrogen-alpha emission nebulae. The large loose open cluster Stock 2 is just below and left of center. This incredibly star-rich area of sky lies in the Milky Way on the border of Cassiopeia and Perseus.
