Dear group,
Aside from the stunning double cluster in Perseus, we have a large number of other impressive open clusters in this rich constellation.
A few days ago I had a sucker hole with good transparency but questionable seeing and where I pursued NGC 1528, one such rich open cluster in Perseus. This was my fourth attempt at NGC 1528 and it is still not quite where I would like it to be but certainly better than the three earlier efforts.
I have checked around the internet for other results involving NGC 1528 and only to find a very small number of efforts.
For my latest effort based on two hours total exposure time using luminance layering, I kindly direct you to http://www.perseus.gr/Astro-DSO-NGC-1528.htm and which taken with an AP160 and ST-2000XM. My prize camera (ST-10XME) is now back from some service work and will be used for another crack at this bright and rich open cluster (weather permitting).
Clear skies!
Anthony.
