BINOCULAR TOUR
BBC Sky at Night Magazine
|August 2025
Discover a stick man flexing his biceps, a golden giant and the sublime Double Cluster
1. The Perseus Double Cluster
A third of the way from mag. +3.8 Miram (Eta (η) Persei) to mag. +2.6 Ruchbah (Delta (δ) Cassiopeiae), you will find a close pair of open clusters. The pair may be visible to your naked eye, but large binoculars will help you to experience the 3D illusion that makes it so attractive. Those stars are intrinsically far brighter than our Sun, which, if it were at that distance, with these binoculars would be too faint to be seen! SEEN IT
2. The Muscleman Cluster
