M44 Beehive at last!!

[Sparrow]

I thought I was never going to crack this one. Finally solved my fuzzy star problem which turned out to be the secondary out of alignment - solved it by going back to the beginning with my collimation. A clearer (if somewhat brief) sky helped as well. Sadly it didn't last long enough for me to get any subs on M106.

Anyway - 12 x 1.5 minute subs at ISO400 - processed in Adobe and Iris.

Excellent (although I also really enjoyed your previous M44 posts!)

Thats a lovely image of open cluster M44, very well processed with nice clean subtle star colours well done.

Thanks for that Grunthos and Morimarty - very much appreciated.
