M 45 Pleiades - RGB
The Pleiades also known as the Seven Sisters and Messier 45, is an asterism of an open star cluster containing young B-type stars in the northwest of the constellation Taurus. The cluster is dominated by hot blue luminous stars that have formed within the last 100 million years.
After lot's of clouds, rain and storms in Spain, I am really happy to be able to image this open cluster and reflection nebula in two short nights. A very simple capture and edit to kick off imaging during some moonless skies.
115 x 300s exposures totalling 9 hours 30 minutes.
