Double_Cluster with S30 Pro

About this image

Perseus Double Cluster was one of the first naked-eye clusters I distinguished as fuzzy patch when I was 15, living in a small, relatively light-pollution-free town in southern Iraq. When I got hold of my aunt’s binoculars, it was also one of the first targets I pointed them at and greatly admired.

Using the Seestar S30 Pro, I was impressed by how beautifully it resolves the stars at higher magnification, while also bringing out their subtle colours remarkably well.
