NGC 1342 - Open Cluster in Perseus

NGC 1342 is a very impressive open cluster in Perseus characterized with 50 to 100 stars and which are well detached from the background sky and without a concentrated core. With an apparent diameter of 15 arc-minutes across, the cluster is dominated by multiple magnitude 8, 9 and 10 stars lying predominantly in a horizontal lane. NGC 1342 lies at a distance of 1,170 light-years away and is estimated to be fairly young at only 450 million years-old. The cluster slightly overlaps the bright nebulae LDN 718 and 719 and as indicated by the traces of nebulosity in the image above. Characterized with a magnitude of 6.7, NGC 1342 was discovered by William Herschel in 1799.
