The above 6 images of the Double Cluster show this region at different scales and with the images taken on several different pieces of kit.
The first image is a 4-frame mosaic taken with a Sky90 and M25C OSC CCD.
Second image is a single framer taken with a Sky90 and M25C OSC CCD.
Third image is a 2-frame mosaic taken with the 200mm lenses and M26C OSC CCD.
Fourth image is a single frame taken with the original Hyperstar and a tiny H9C OSC CCD.
Fifth image is a single framer taken with a Sky90 and M25C OSC CCD.
Sixth image is a single framer taken with a Canon 5D MkII DSLR and a 200mm prime lens.
Is there any point in imaging this region any more? Well yes, as I now have a Hyperstar IV with an ASI 2600MC Pro CMOS camera instead of the original Hyperstar with the tiny little H9C OSC CCD. Also, the 200mm lenses are now equipped with the ASI 2600MC Pro OSC CMOS cameras as well, so that is a change from the original 200mm lens images taken with an M26C OSC CCD. So next time the Double Cluster is in a good imaging position, there will be at least two more images to add to the 6 shown above.
