Tractor Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Its the Perseus Double Cluster. You can easily see it with even binoculars or a small telescope so its easy to get a good shot. I've just always liked it since it was one of the things I could see with my first "toy" telescope as a kid. http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f185/EWhytsell/DoubleClusterFinal.jpg Evan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractor Posted August 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Haha the original is 79x68 or so inches at full scale. I used a NASA trick called the debayer-drizzle algorithm. It somehow doubles the image size and retains the detail actually sharpening it a good bit in the process. Who knows how it works, but my computer hates running it. It wasn't really necessary for that image, but I wanted to be able to print it at minimum as a 12x18 so I wanted to make sure it would remain sharp.
