Description

This is my personal favorite visual double star in the sky.  I took this quick image of 254 - 5 second subs stacked in SharpCap and post processed in Gimp.

I used my L-Pro filter for added contrast and to help preserve the star colors.

Thanks for looking!

Description: Adjusted color/Hue to look more (natural) what it looks like thru a telescope, though I have to admit I like the original better because of the more prominent colors of the 2 stars.
