brilliant mark, that's my favorit star pair, looks like your collimation is out about though.  or is it comma?

Really nice Mark and it captures the colours perfectly.

It's coma - I didn't have the reducer/flattener because that would give me a bright doughnut :-(

Lovely image Mark,

It just goes to show you that an image of a pair of stars can look just as dramatic as an image of the Moon or other celestial objects.
