| Description |
The double cluster, in Perseus, is
visible to the naked eye as a couple of blurry areas in
line with Cassiopeia. These clusters of stars are about
7000 light years away but are still part of the Milky
Way. |
| Processing |
This is a single 2 1/2 minute shot
taken in the dark Adirondack skies. Unfortunately, it
was foggy that night so the sky was not very
transparent. The picture was taken through the Tele Vue
85, unguided, mounted on the Losmandy G11 mount. The
photo was contrast enhanced in ImagesPlus. |
