The brightest open cluster of the sky (Messier 45)

Very excited that I finally had time this month to go outside to do astrophotography !

 

This picture was taken with a Canon 600D at prime focus of a 8" newtonian telescope.

49 frames of 60 seconds each were necessary to obtain this outcome.

 

I wish I could capture longer this deep sky object but I was disturbed by fog...
