C13 NGC 457 Owl Cluster - telescope processed image. Known as the Owl or "E.T." Cluster, its shape is formed by two bright stars acting as "eyes" and long chains of stars mimicking wings or arms.

C13 NGC 457 Owl Cluster - unprocessed image. While the brightest "eye" star, Phi Cassiopeiae, looks like part of the 7,900 light-year distant cluster, it is likely a much closer foreground star.

First of the planned observations for the s50 came out already. Here is #C13 #NGC457 #TheOwlCluster. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur

NGC 457 Owl Cluster - unprocessed image. Fun fact: Its star pattern strongly resembles the alien E.T. from the movie, with two bright stars forming its unmistakable, widely spaced eyes.
