Berkeley 97 & LDN 1196

Hello altogether!

Berkeley 97 is a small open star cluster in constellation Cepheus. It forms a nice pair with the dark nebula LDN 1196. Several scientists wrote about Berkeley 97 and so its distance was measured quite accurate - about 7860 light years.

Picture was taken at my observatory at the Gahberg, Upper Austria, back in summer 2015, when the nights were warm and clear... ;-)
