Description

Still trying to figure out collimation and backspacing, tilt etc. Had the scope out for some testing last weekend and thought it was close enough to try and capture some images. Stars are not great, but its my only image so far of the double cluster so thought I'd publish it.

I shot 50 frames each R, G, B, @ 60". However the rig did a meridian flip half way through B and the framing was off after that. So I exluded those frames and left B with only about 25.

Minimal processing on this one, just background extraction, photometric color cal, and generalized hyperbolic stretching.
