A second image of open cluster NGC7790, seen at top left. It was discovered by William Herschel in Dec 1788. Distance estimated at c.9,600ly, and age c.55million years. Apparent mag. 9.0. Class III2p (no concentration).

At centre lower right, there appears what looks like another cluster, but I have been unable to identify it as such.
