I decided to check what's in Ha and noticed a planetary nebula at the left edge of the frame, slightly above the bright yellow star. I shot a bit of Ha to see what's what, and as a bonus it turned out pretty good. The cluster was discovered by Caroline Herschel in 1783, so the name isn't just another folk creation. The small nebula, by the way, is Abell 82 (PK 114-04.1).
