M45 The Pleiades


jl694

Date: Taken over several nights around the end of November and early December

Equipment: Skywatcher Explorer 150P, EQ3-2 with dual-axis motor drive, Skywatcher 0.9x Coma Corrector, Canon EOS 1100D

Exposure: 107 x 45s @ ISO400 with relevant dark, bias and flat frames

Processing: Exposures captured with Astrophotography Tool, raw files (cr2) stacked with Deep Sky Stacker Beta, curves adjusted, background removed and noise filter applied with Fitswork.

Location: London, England

This was another attempt at imaging the Pleiades, this time with more subs, a lower ISO speed and with a coma corrector. A light pollution gradient made this object difficult to process without losing the faint nebulosity.
