NGC225 is a sparse open cluster positioned at 2 degrees northwest of γCas. About 15 member stars are grouped in a span of 12 arc minutes. We can appreciate the cluster only with small scopes; it may hard to distinguish from surrounding fine stars of the Milky Way. In this image, you can detect a dimmed reflection nebula vdB4 with a span of 8 arc minutes in north-south direction is floating just north of the cluster.
