Pleiades and California Nebula
50mm f1.8 @ 2.2
57 x 10 sec = 9 minutes and 30 seconds
stacked in DSS
processed in GIMP
I used some black cardboard to form a lens shroud to help prevent some of the flaring that showed up in the last picture. It seems to have worked ok. This was also the first time I tried to use flat frames. The dark round spots in the above picture indicate that I didn't average enough flat frames together.
There was still some glare from a nearby street lamp effecting the right side of the image. If anyone has any tips on countering this, I'd be appreciate the tip.
