This is the rich star cluster nicknamed Caroline's Rose,or officially NGC 7789,in Cassiopeia. Caroline Herschel,sister of William Herschel,discovered it in 1783. In the eyepiece its stars do take on the appearance of nested rose petals. Subtle effects like that are always lost in photos of star clusters.

This is Messier 3, the globular cluster in Canes Venatici, one of the brightest globulars in the northern sky. It was discovered by Charles Messier in 1764, but not resolved into stars until 1784 by William Herschel. The little galaxy above the orange star is 14th magnitude NGC 5263.
