NGC 436 Cassiopeia

No real reason for doing this, just a nice open cluster in Cassiopeia and thought I’d do some photometry on some of the cluster stars using ASTAP, which I did.  I chose a Be star (2MASS J01154089+5849021 / Cl* NGC 436 BOD 54) but nothing revealed on that, or any of the other stars I chose. But then again it would have been lucky!
