Description

Clusters are interesting to me...hundreds or thousands of stars crammed together, yet in the vastness of space they often appear as lone, solitary objects. At least these two have each other for company! No summer would be complete without admiring the Perseus Double Cluster; I did this as an exercise in star color control. I still have a long ways to go, but this turned out pretty good for my skill level and equipment.
