Description

This object was not what I intended on imaging tonight. I intended on imaging IC 1396 and IC 2177.

However the Moon was brutal tonight. I didn't even need a flashlight to walk around in my back yard. I took several test images of these two nebulae. I tried different iso settings and exposures but I could tell it was pointless to continue with these objects. I quickly decided to image the Double Cluster but even it was affected by the Moon light. However I felt I could get an image of it. The sky was still clear when I finished imaging the Double Cluster so I decided to try NGC 457 the Owl cluster. Please enjoy my latest image of the Double Cluster.
