h & chi in Perseus
One of the nicest objects especially for small telescopes is the double star clouster
h&chi in Perseus. With my 2" 32mm eyepice the clouster fills the complete field of view
and you can see hunderts of stars in different colors.
This is also one of the objects I want to reshoot with longer focal lenght.
