Quick go at the Double Cluster

[OXO]

After imaging the Moon Last night i had a few mins at the Double Cluster with the ED80, the image is a stack of 5x 25 secs and taken with the Canon300D.

Not bad for a quick pic i guess plus it was getting light :shock:.

hmmm.....beautiful! the 300D was made to do images like that. and what a fantastic area of the sky, what with M31/M33 not too far away.

have you ever considered doing the bubble nebula with the Canon? I was toying with the idea last night but settled on the Veil instead. perhaps tonight?

great image!

Your right it's a lovely part of the sky and one anyone with the modest of equipment can view with pleasureable views..

Not tried the Bubble Nebula yet and tbh hadnt thought of until now i will have a go this evening if it's clear the Veil Neb just seems to elude me with cameras.

Thanks for the kind comments
