Description

The clouds were coming and going, and there seemed to be a thin high cloud layer, so I decided to observe open clusters. Here is a mosaic of the double cluster composed of 7 images. My field of view with my camera is only about 24 by 34 arc minutes, so this field is about double that of my native camera.

I kept exposures short and tried not to saturate so I could get star colors. Not a great image, but I think it reflects the way it appears visually in a telescope quite well.
