Double Cluster in Perseus

When I went outside tonight I had no idea what I was going to image. However when I looked

around I realized that a very bright quarter Moon was not going to allow a lot of options. I

decided a cluster would probably be the best thing to image. I chose the Double Cluster

because it was about as far away from the Moon as I could get. I did manage to get an

image but it's not the best that I've done with this object. However with that said I did enjoy

my time outside under the stars with my scope and camera and I also had fun and got some

practice with my post processing. Please enjoy my most recent image of the Double Cluster.

It is probably my favorite cluster and I've observed it through an eye piece more than any

other cluster in the sky.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
