Double Cluster NGC884&869

[NickRose2006]

Last night I went out to do some imaging even though the moon was at close to 99% full. I picked an easy target to image with the moon being up. The Double Cluster was a perfect target. It is big, bright and not too close to the moon.

Target: Double Cluster NGC884/869

Telescope: Celestron SP-C6

Mount: Vixen Super Polaris

Unguided

Camera: unmodded Canon 300D Rebel

Subs: 23x50s lights, 20x50s Darks, 20 Flats

Hi Nick, always impresses, you can really see the Moonlight washing over the image but I can imagine a near full Moon as going to test you imaging guys.

Thanks for posting.

Good image, especially considering the nearly full moon.
