M45, Seven Sisters Pleiades

This is a small taster/test image for a project Matt and I are embarking on, we have decided to collaborate with a number of targets with this being the first part of the first test, another panel will be added to this once weather allows it, the main thing we were both shocked with is background galaxies were picked up on such short exposures

 

 

Seeing was between hfr 3 and 4 all night so far from ideal
