Description

A couple nights ago I had a chance to do a quick run on a pair of clusters that I've had my eyes on for ages, the Perseus Double Cluster.

I captured this in the waning moments of astronomical twilight on the night I captured Comet C/2014 E2, and totally forgot about the data until I was doing a data backup earlier today.

For a total of 20 30-second exposures and 26 darks and zero flats, I'm quite pleased. I used the 90mm Meade as the imaging scope for this one.
