Hi folks!

Yesterday I could make some pics of this beautiful pair. Too bad, that I could make only 6 frames. I had to strive against the clouds. The autoguider lost the star again and again. And at 11 p.m. I hat to stop. Clouds, clouds, clouds... I hate them!!

I did it with the 350d mod and the Pentax 75. 6 x 600s with ISO 800

DSS and PS, darks and flats.
