Double Cluster (Caldwell 14)

First attempt at a DSO, the Double Cluster in Perseus also knowen as Caldwell 14, with the NexStar 5SE, could have done with higher ISO or longer exposure but this important thing here is the stars are not trailing even though the alignment wasn't perfect which should mean I can lengthen exposures with better alignment. This was taken on the simple Alt-Az alignment, using the built in wedge and EQ aligning should help a lot too. Progress!
