M34 The Double Cluster This a stitched sketch of NGC 869 & NGC 884. The seeing was far from ideal and I would like another go at it when the transparency is better. Thanks for looking.

M34 is a very striking open cluster. The Double Cluster has no peer and you have recorded the colored stars very nicely. Thank you for sharing them with us all.

Love M34 and the fact that besides having 400 members with at least 19 members being white dwarfs. Nicely done.
