Description

This image is a test image. I did a select and slew on my hand controller and asked my

mount to find IC 1805 the Heart Nebula. The mount slewed and stopped and I took a test

image. This is the result. I knew I was not on the Heart Nebula. I was close but not on it.

However I noticed that my image was not a bad image of the Double Cluster plus I had the

added bonus of another cluster NGC 957. The composition was not great but I decided

to take some more images to align , stack, and process. I like open clusters and in this

image I had three nice ones.
