Pleiades Is Dusty
The Pleiades star cluster, a night sky object that is pretty easy to see by eye currently! This is one night of data at Bendleby, 6 frames at 5 minutes each for red, green and blue filters, then the rest of the night with the luminance (monochrome) filter. RASA8 f/2 telescope, QHY268M camera, Celestron CGEM2 EQ mount, NINA control software, PHD2 guiding software, stacking and initial processing in APP, final processing in Photoshop. This target has lots of bright stars, which brings out the worst in my cable placement issues! Other than ugly stars, and more data needed for less noise, pretty happy with how this turned out!
