Good try! Thanks for sharing. The stars look slightly bloated. You are so lucky to have access to northern skies for imaging. So you should be to image double cluster also? :)

Here is m34 for your reading ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messier_34

The stars are blue because my image processing not ideal ... the signature of m34 is the orange stars amongst the white ones , which looks like a gold nugget in the night sky. That is why i appreciate the m34 :)

It is a very small open cluster, about 25 arc secs
