Rick,

a very nice cluster, you did a great job of maintaining the star colours.

IC 166 is an open cluster in Cassiopeia. It is about 10,750 light years
from us by one paper I found. The WEBDA puts it at 13,000 light-years.
Pinning down an open cluster's distance is still beyond the science in
most cases. It's age is estimated to be about 1.32 +/- 0.43 billion
years. Wide field images show it is seen at the edge of a weak dark
nebula so stars are likely reddened. It's age plus the dust likely
account for the rather red color of most of the stars in the cluster.
