M45 - 9 hours of data

[ShineOn]

My first effort at the gorgeous M45. This is 54 x 600sec lights at ISO400, with darks, flats and bias with unmodded dslr on my MN190. Stacked in DSS, stretched in PS.

Cheers,

Simon

Excellent shot - well done

[Velvet]

nice shot, can I ask why you use ISO400, most on here seem to use ISO800?

Thanks Velvet....I normally shoot at 800 but for this object being so bright, I thought I'd try 400 in an attempt to keep things looking more natural and not too 'overcooked'

Spot on with ISO 400. Also a useful ISO for M31 !
