One of my favorite winter sites, whether through the eyepiece or to photograph, is this double cluster which lies in close proximity to the constellation Cassiopeia but actual lies within Perseus. My first attempt at photographing the double cluster was one of my first astrophotos back in 2013. You can see it here. Many years later, with a lot more experience and some better equipment yielded dramatic improvement.
