In the constellation of Perseus, the star Mirfak (α Persei) shines brightly. We see it located near a cluster of stars of all temperatures, the α Persei Cluster. This was captured with a very slight haze in the sky purposefully, to take advantage of the Akira Fuji effect, whose diffuse light accentuates the large stars against the inky black of deep space.
