Description

This is a BONUS image I took in-between targets. Had an hour to kill and The Double Cluster was in perfect view, so I went after it. I'm in the process of setting up a new telescope and only had the SHO filters installed in the filter wheel hence just the Ha and OIII subs and not LRGB.

I also got to try out the new BlurXT and NoiseXT PI plug-ins while processing this one. I have to say the star and noise management worked like a charm and as a result, this year's effort turned out way better than last.

Merry Christmas!
Eddie
