I just love this area of the sky... with the two clusters that are so obviously different in color and distance. It makes for an interesting view at the eyepiece, and a nice target for imaging. This image was taken last night. I used the values from the RGB Weight Calculator software to get the G2V star colors. I think it turned out pretty nice.
The wind was HOWLING last night, but the G-11 was rock solid!
Cheers,
Tyler
