Description

I have been attempting to capture the Iris Nebula in a Bortle 8 zone at 480mm (very frustrating!) and I wanted to maximize my time in the dark so I decided to try some other targets. One of those was the double cluster in Perseus. I captured over two nights using three different exposure times. The past two weeks is the first time I have really put the L-Pro filter to work and I feel like I am still struggling with how to make it work between my two main focal lengths with exposure times and ISO settings with the Canon EOS Ra, but I am really happy with how this came out.
