Sky-Watcher Evostar ED80 @480mm (f/6.0), Player One Poseidon-C camera @-5 °C, Sky-Watcher Eq6r Pro mount, SvBony UV/IR-cut filter

Description:

The portion of the sky that I imaged is located just below the imaginary line that connects the stars Segin (ε Cas) and Ruchbah (δ Cas), i.e. the first 2 stars of the "W" asterism that distinguishes the constellation of Cassiopeia. In this image, taken at 480mm focal length, there are 5 star clusters: NGC 654, NGC 663 (or Caldwell 10), NGC 659, Collinder 15 and M103 (or NGC 581).
