The Double Cluster, NGC 869 and NGC 844. Because the 14 is currently ALT-AZ mounted, exposures have to be short due to field rotation. This is a single, 30 second exposure--about the maximum before field rotation becomes a problem. I'll also post an image of a stack, showing the field rotation of the star field. The only real solution is to mount the scope on a wedge. I will be mounting the 14 on an ultrawedge in the next week or so.
