Description

After I finished with the Cocoon nebula this night, I wanted to take a quick session of the Double Cluster. Open clusters aren't always as brilliant and popular as the nebulae, but I have always enjoyed the double cluster group. It was one of the first images (single frame) I took when I was initially learning my equipment last summer, and I've been wanting to come back and do a better capture of it when I had a chance - it was tonight.
