Here is a double cluster shot of NGC663 and the smaller NGC 654. Full size image and exposure / processing details are at:

Apologies for the orientation (North to the left) - I liked the presentation in that orientation. You will have to orient the image 90 Deg, CW mentally to compare to other images.
