Description

I have not imaged the Double Cluster in a very long time, and so last night I decided to give it a go.  It's possible that our Sun was formed in a cluster, so it's cool to think that maybe some young solar system has formed inside one of these clusters!  Or many!  There are a lot of blue giants in both of these relatively young clusters.  They are both heading in our direction.  Clear skies
