Equipment:
10" f/3.9 Newt
Description:
An extremely deep shot of the Double Cluster in Perseus, NGC869-884. Many nights were spent on collecting 15 hours of data here, and the reward was a beautiful red wall of hydrogen nebulosity at the bottom (south) end of the frame. This rich assemblage of golden and sapphire blue supergiant suns combined with the glowing embers of hydrogen gas in the same image forms this dazzling portrait of one of the Milky Ways finest gems. Technical Data: 10" f/3.9 Newtonian astrograph, Atik 16200 CCD, LRGB = 15 hours HaRGB total, Payson, Az.
