C14 Double Star Cluster

The first time I saw this cluster was with a 4 inch Newtonian reflector telescope that I borrowed from a friend.  I was amazed by how many stars I could see and it filled the whole view of the eyepiece.  This is one of my favorite open star clusters.  It can be seen without a telescope in a dark site location.  It is located in the constellation Perseus in the north part of it and close to Cassiopeia.  I captured this with 3 minute subframes and 10 frames stacked.  I didn't use any dark, flat, or bias calibration files.
