When I first started this hobby one and a half season ago I was inspired by all the images on the NASA APOD (Astronomy picture of the day) website and decided that my goal was to have one of my own images featured on that website. Yesterday I got an e-mail from NASA APOD saying that they had selected my image to be featured today and I first could not believe it. Even though I knew it was coming it felt strange when it was finally published. My version of the Double Cluster in Perseus or Caldwell 14, LRGB stars with H-Alpha background.
Data for this image: 20x60s L, 20x60s R, 20x60s G, 20x60s B, 85x300s Ha
Total number of exposures 165 with a total integration time of 8,3 hours
Processing: PixInsight HaLRGB with LRGB stars
