Description

I haven't spent much time on double stars.  They are often overlooked as imaging targets, even more so than open clusters, in part because the image never quite captures the visual.  

What struck me is the scale: These are some very narrow spacings. That is often the welcomed challenge for visual observers, but even at  2200mm , the image is heavily cropped and resized. Each star received 30x10" subs at 200 iso. 

These targets are deserving of a bit more love IMHO. Not the splash of nebulae, but the color combinations can be quite nice.
