The Double star cluster

My image of the Double star cluster taken with my 1300d DSLR Canon camera. The camera was mounted on my Skywatcher 80ED Refractor  telescope with a field flattener. The telescope was mounted on my EQ5 GOTO mount. I used an intervalometer to control the camera and a Bahtinov mask to focus on a bright star.  My settings were 50s exposure, 800 ISO, 50 flat frames and 30 dark frames, I captured 150 images. They were all stacked in DSS  and processed  in Gimp 2.10.
