I was out this past week at the Chiefland Star Party using a Nexstar 8 with a Tal 25mmeye piece. Look at M35 and this open cluster looked like the shuttle as seen from underneath. One of the wings at the back is a little skewed, but look at the U shaped of stars and follow this back on both sides to the back wings.

NGC 457 is also know as "ET". Its a Favorite with the kids. I have never heard it called the Space shuttle cluster, or an f-15. I'll have to take a closer look,
Ivan,
Epsilon and Delta Cassiopeia will lead you straight to NGC457.
