Star Cluster Fun

Having fun with star clusters during a 47% moon.
First time I have had the AA 102mm ED Frac out for a long time & this scope performed as expected.
Firstly I slewed over to M39 in Cygnus before the moon got to bright.
An hour later I moved to NGC 869, the wonderful double cluster in Perseus
Techy Bits......

Altair 1.0X flattener
Altair Astro filter holder
