Double Cluster
20:52 14/8/2004 UTC
After successfully capturing the previous image I have been eagerly waiting for new imaging opportunity. Tonight weather cleared for the night and I decided to try if Double Cluster would fit into my FOV. My system is about f2.9 combined and there is a lot of coma in the images. I processed this image by taking the luminance from green channel and then added gaussian blurred color to the image.
