Location:
NGC 663 is the largest of several open clusters that are visible in the same 5° field as δ and ε Cassiopeiae.
What You Should See:
It is superior in every respect to the nearby M103 and, unlike M103 which appears as a small fan-shaped patch of nebulosity, some of the stars are resolvable in 10×50 binoculars.
