[Atmob-discuss] Quickie Double Cluster

[Neil Fleming]

Thanks, David.  Yeah, that is one of the reasons I wanted to shoot this one.  The red star between the two clusters is nicely visible as a carbon star when viewing live.

 

   Cheers...Neil

Nice shot, Neil.  I was showing that object to the kids at the Groton star party last week.

I was out the other night testing my gear in prep for moving it out west, and managed to snag just over an hour's worth of NGC 884 / NGC 869 - the Double Cluster in Perseus.  Not the deepest of shots (63 minutes, all told), but it turned out OK.  This was a widefield using the FSQ.

I also tried out Noel Carboni's new "StarSpikesPro" software, a new plugin for Photoshop.  Something a little different for us RCOS-jealous refractor types .  Here is a direct link to that version:
