Around Mirfak (the "a" star), the elbow of Perseus. One of the best areas of the sky for 10x50 binoculars, an incredible view. Many bright stars, not all of which are the same color. Just a little (five degrees or so) to the west is the double cluster; mondo cluster fun!

And I'll give it my vote too.

Note: Yes, the double cluster is farther west than five degrees. Doh! It's location is RA 2:20 and Dec 57. Or so.
Point -- you don't have to swing your binoculars far from one to the other(s).
