Double Cluster

I was pretty surprised about this image. For one, out of habit I shot 5 minute subs which were actually too long for this target. The brightest stars are essentially blown out. But, the thing I really like about it is that the faint Milky Way background stars are really tiny as focus was good and the subs were fairly deep. Because of this, the shot has a huge diversity of star sizes and aesthetically I find that very appealing.
