Open cluster M45 Pleiades
just 25 minutes of data here (5 x5 mins). I took some shorter exposures but they were quite noisy. Ive concentrated on the wispy reflection nebulae so the red stars are a bit colourless.
The diffraction spikes were due to a bristle from a blower brush getting stuck on the flattener! Ive just left them in!
480/80mm refractor with 1.0 x field flattener. Canon 60Da with Hutech LPA filter.
Camera controlled with backyard EOS.
Ioptron ZEQ25GT mount with SSAG/PHD autoguider.
