Double Cluster

[Jannis]

I have previously captured this nice and huge target, but this was mainly a test to get used to RGB processing instead of DSLR processing. I must say i still don't feel i quite got it, but i guess with more time...

The red stars were more bloated even with lens at F/8, but i tried to reduce it a bit.

Captured with the QHY5L-II-M with an old Olympus OM 135mm lens at F/8. Gain 12. Drizzle stacked to increase resolution.

R: 132x 30s
G: 59x 30s
B: 63x 30s
Total: 2 hour 6 min

Good image! One of my favourite views at low magnification.

Nice image--and I like this framing--over and under.

Thank you guys!

While i captured this target previously at 1000mm with the 550D and achieved much higher resolution, i can see that the star colors now are completely different. I also like this FOV better.
I still need to work on it more with regards to star colors, but maybe one day i'll get there...
