Description

Since I am tracking manually, this cluster was shot completely blind. I could not carry any laptop with internet connection to plate solve and see if both the clusters were actually in my frame. The live view screen of my old DSLR is unreliable and rarely of any help.

Perhaps its just me but processing star clusters seem to be very difficult. Getting star colours right is a difficult task. Focusing is another issue which I have struggled with. Without any aid, it is difficult to judge whether the object is in focus or not.
