NGC 7789, or Caroline's Rose, is an open star cluster in Cassiopeia that reveals the rich structure of our galaxy. Its dense, petal-like star patterns create a stunning visual, perfect for showcasing deep-sky imaging skill. Captured with amateur equipment, it highlights both accessibility and the beauty made possible by dark-sky preservation. Under pristine skies, its fine details emerge, making it a strong candidate for the "Deep Sky Observations" category. It’s a vivid blend of science, artistry, and the importance of protecting our night skies.
