Yet another M45

[johnb]

Well here is another attempt, this is 60 x 60 sec exposures with associated darks and flats. I need to learn how to process becuase i seem to constantly burn out the cores of the stars, progress I guess

Thanks for looking, taken with the kit in my signature

I like the nebula part you have there, nice and clear. i think the framing could have been different though, but i'm not really (at all, lol) the one to talk about framing.

the stars seems to be a problem for most trying the m45. i'm currently imaging m45 myself as i'm writing this (darn fog is comming in though, and batteries run out after struggeling to align and setup guiding again first time this year, so probably won't get any good result) but are still wondering about the stars myself also.

From what i've read so far, the only way to get a good overall pic of m45 is to take at least 2 different exposures, preferably 3, and combine them later. But that means a Lot more work though...

what iso did you use, btw (asuming you remember, 2 monts after, hehe)?
