The Double Cluster

I captured an image of the Double Star Cluster in Perseus using my Rokinon 135mm prime lens attached to a Canon 1300D DSLR camera on a standard tripod. The settings were 5 seconds and ISO 800. The final image is a stack of 25 exposures, processed in Sequator and edited in Gimp 2.10. I also employed a self-timer for image capture and a Bahtinov mask for precise focusing on a bright star. This image was taken under Bortle 3 skies at Fall Bay, Gower.
