Description

I was able to get this image of the Double Cluster from my light polluted back yard in the San Francisco Bay Area. This was an early attempt at using RGB filters with my cooled CMOS monochrome camera. This data had been sitting on my hard drive for quite a while and was finally able to get an acceptable-looking result. It could have benefited from further exposure time and some refocusing for the B filter.

Wishing everyone good health during this difficult time.
