| Photo by Bill Williams - Attached is a 15-minute LRGB shot of the Double Cluster in Perseus using a 6-inch telescope and SBIG STL-11K CCD camera. The two clusters are 7600 light years distant and are thought to have formed at the same time. The clusters are likely gravitationally bound much like double stars although this is still not established with certainty. The Double Cluster is a naked-eye subject in dark skies and is beautiful in a low power telescope visually adjacent to the constellation Cassiopeia. | bwilliams doublecluster wsp2007 | bwilliams_doublecluster_wsp2007.JPG | 2400x1718px | 2.9MB |
