Description

Double cluster in Perseus imaged with a Celestron CPC800 equipped with a focal reducer f/6.3 and a Canon 600D prime focus. 40x30s frames @ 800 ISO stacked with Sequator with 10 darks and 10 flats. The diffraction spikes, unexpected with a Schimdt-Cassegrain, are the unintended consequence of the trunk and branches of the tree through which I was imaging!
