Description

I did not intend to image this object tonight. In fact I brought out a list and star charts marked

with 6 open clusters. I decided I would image the first one I found of these six. However after

searching for an hour and a half I could not find any of the 6 open clusters mainly because of a

very bright quarter Moon. I could not see a lot of the constellations. The only star I could see

in the Little Dipper was Polaris. I didn't want to waste any more of my imaging time so I

decided to image the Double Cluster again. I could see Cassiopeia and I've put an eye piece

on the Double Cluster more times than I can count. So with all of that said please enjoy my

most recent image of the Double Cluster.
