Description

It may be age, but I find myself resisting my youth when pulling images from my Roboscope Pier 5 (Tak 180ED/ASI2400MC) syndicate.   The Perseus Double Cluster was familiar naked-eye DSO in winter Edinburgh skies during my youth,.  

Fast forward half a century or so, and I haw the chance to image it in a way I couldn't have imaged possible all those years ago.  Not least from New Zealand.
