ow many times have I traced the line from Delta
(δ) Cassiopeiae to Eta (η) Persei, connecting the
Queen and Hero, looking to find the Double Cluster
(NGC 869 and NGC 884) floating between them?
Hundreds of times at least, and I've only been stargazing
for 15 years.
But how many times have I stopped to take in

the other celestial wonders along that same route?
Shamefully, many times fewer. Let's fix that! Our main
target this month is the open cluster Trumpler 2,
located just a little south of the line between the
Double Cluster and Eta Persei. At magnitude 5.9 it's
nice and bright, and even detectable with the naked
eye under sufficiently dark skies. Trumpler 2 is also
more than just a fuzzy blob - in my 10×50 binoculars
the brighter stars of the cluster form an arc or sickle
shape whose horns point to the Double Cluster and
Eta Persei, as if it were a hammock slung between
them. With very keen eyes you might spot 7th-magnitude
HD 16068, a red giant star at the center of the
cluster, though I need binoculars to snag it.
Another open cluster, NGC 957, sits less than 2°

north-northwest of the HD star, making a sort of
squashed parallelogram with Trumpler 2, the Double
Cluster, and Eta Persei. At magnitude 7.6, NGC 957 is
much less bright than Trumpler 2, and it might require
darker skies or bigger binos to pull it out of the rich
Milky Way background. At roughly 6,000 light-years
distant, NGC 957 is about three times farther from
us than Trumpler 2. Fittingly, both clusters reside in
our galaxy's Perseus Arm, and they help define its
grand sweep across the autumn sky. If you follow that
starry road, take time to check out all its wonders, not
merely the most famous.
¢ MATT WEDEL is always up for a road trip, especially
if all he has to pack are his favorite binoculars.
