Description

When I finished imaging NGC 6888 last night the sky was still clear so I decided to also image the Double Cluster. This object has always been one of my favorite objects to view in an eyepiece. It seemed like the stars went on forever. I've always had problems with the concept of infinity. My world has always been nice, neat measured distances. I also like symmetry. When I see the Double Cluster in an eye piece it definitely gives validity to the concept of infinity. Please enjoy my latest image of the Double Cluster.

Description: I reprocessed my image today just trying to see if I could get something that I liked better. I think this image has a little better resolution in the stars.
