My binocular favourite.

Thanks to ShineOn for inspiring this with his nice first light on the DC using a Tak 85.

Some years ago I did a fast widefeild including this region, the Double Cluster framed with Stock II. This is my favourite binocular sight so I thought I'd take two panels from the FSQ85/Atik 4000 widefield and reprocess them to replicate the bino view. While the DC showed up fine I found the 'Leonardo's Man' asterism in Stock II was drowned out, as was the trail of stars leading from the DC to Stock. So I cheated and gently emphasized the asterisms using a combination of selective brightening and increased saturation.

As you can guess, it's raining here today so I needed a play!

Wonderful.  I love the Double Cluster.  One of my favourites.
