When the Sun shrinks to a dull red dwarf, it will not be dying. It will just be starting to live and everything that has gone before will merely be a prelude to its real history.

My astronomy sketches. Hover mouse over image for the inverted look. For fainter objects, take a look at the black-on-white original, sometimes it reveals more details.

NGC 1342 (Open cluster)
Right ascension: 3h 32m Declination: 37° 26'
Constellation: Perseus
Date/time: 2009.01.24 18:00 UT
Equipment: 12" f/5 Newtonian
FoV: 30' Magnification and filter(s): 71x
Seeing: 6/10 Transparency: 3/5
Location: Nádasdladány, Hungary
Observer: Ferenc Lovró
Description:

Interesting, large size open cluster with faint stars of variable magnitude: contains about 10 brighter and 20 much fainter stars. Nicely extrudes from its backround. Its cumulate size and brightness can be easily described if I say that even the finderscope shows this object as a small faint spot. The picture drawn by its stars reminds me of a horsefish.
