They span around 1° on the sky, which makes them a joy to observe and image in smaller scopes. This image was done with a Celestron C8, the 0.63x reducer/corrector and an ASI533MC (uncooled). The small FOV necessitated making this a mosaic.</p> <p>Individual stacks can be downloaded <a class="link" href="https://files.familie-topp.net/Double-Cluster_2x30x180s.zip" target="_blank" rel="noopener" >here</a>. Each panel is 30x 180s at gain 101.</p> <p>My processed imaged with details can be found on <a class="link" href="https://astrob.in/yp2v4j/0/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" >Astrobin</a>.
