Hi, I took over 50 30sec exposures at ISO 800 of the Double Cluster Monday night. I had a few problems that night. I forgot to switch from JPEG to RAW mode after I got the cluster centered on the chip. The laptop computer eventually ran out of battery power and died. But I'm still pleased with the result. http://www.utahastronomy.com/astrodeb/RZ_DOUBLCLUSTERDEB Debbie
