Description

King 13 is a small (5') and dim (12-14 Mag) open cluster in the constellation of Cassiopeia. Brightest stars of the cluster are only 12 Mag.  King 13 is at about 1.7-3.1 kpc away and is a relatively old open cluster (300-600 Myr). King 13 has lesser than 50 stars. King 13 is a Trumpler class II-2-m open cluster.
Berkeley 1 is a Trumpler class IV-2-p open cluster located approximately 7,900 light-years away in Cassiopeia. This is the first of one hundred four open clusters identified by Gosta Lynga and Jiri Alter in 1958. Distance to Berkeley 60, which is also in the field, is a Trumpler also class IV-2-p open cluster approximately 12,100 light-years away in Cassiopeia.
This image was recently acquired for Astronomical Legue program. This image has substantial SNR of >500.

Processing:
Dynamic Crop for R, G, B
RGB combine.
Seti Auto DBE for RGB
Color calibration for RGB using SPCC
Blur and Noise XT for RGB.  
SCNR for green.
Standard linear HT stretching for RGB 
Noise XT and then HT stretch again for RGB
Lum mask
Curves for slight saturation of RGB
Yellow and Blue masks were used to saturate and slightly enhance red-yellow and white-blue stars, respectively.
