Double Perseus
One of the most beautifull celestial objects, seeing by the naked eye under dark skies. It resides in the northern part of the constellation Perseus, quite close to the constellation Cassiopeia. It is more spectacular with binocular or small (large field) telescopes. Each one with diameter a half degree, in distance of 7.000 light years. The NGC 869 is 5,6 million years old, the other one (the NGC 884) just 3,2. So both, are very young clusters in age.

During my involvement in photographing the "deep sky" I missed the accompaniment of music, as my musical experience guides me. So I decided to fill my astrophotos with my music. From September 2016 as a starting point, therefore, together with the Flaming Star Nebula, I present to You, the ‘Floydish Pulsar I’, as my first musical composition (composition, performance and production by me), always inspired by these images.
Parallel Words ! and Dancing Stars I, complete my first trilogy.
Emjoy !
