The Perseus Double Cluster

[Deneb]

Here's a couple of images to feast your eye's on, Unguided of course, my only regret I imaged this in ISO 1600, I think the noise is atrocious. Imaged with a Celestron 8" Newt, so yes there is Coma (Must buy Baader MPCC soon ) 83x 30secs, 10x darks & 10x Flats.

Now modded with NoelC's StarSpikes Pro :

Deneb, amazing work. Especially for an unguided image. I admire your patience and commitment

the double cluster has got to be one of my favourites, you've really done it justice.

Nice FOV Nadeem

I am bit suprised at the noise level even at ISO1600 from the 450D I often use ISO1600 with the 1000D ... are you using bias frames?
