• Target: AR Cassiopeiae, STT 496
• Const: Cassiopeia
• RaDec: 23h30m +58.32
• Type: Star (Multiple)
• Scope: AT102ED
• Setting: 213x

After two failed attempts at multiple stars recently I was hesitant to attempt another, but I’m glad I did! A cool display of 5 siblings all at different separations and rotations. Two or three of the siblings could be seen at 55x, but I needed to zoom in before I could start to see the others; especially the close sibling.

• Target: NGC 7510
• Const: Cepheus
• RaDec: 23h11m +60.34
• Type: Open Cluster
• Class: III 1 p
• Scope: AT102ED
• Setting: 110x

A rather small open cluster not too far from AR Cassiopeiae. Not very large, nor very interesting. The stars in the cluster seem to be of a similar magnitude as I did not detect many that are fainter.
