Pleiades

[Andyfx]

Last night saw the first clear sky here in Southend for weeks, so I popped out to finally shoot The Pleiades. This is the result after a very quick processing, hope you all like it.

I may try this again on another night as my tracking was a touch off last night, that's the way it goes eh lol!

Nice image, good nebulosity

Thank you that's very kind, was a bit gutted when I looked at some of the subs and had a few eggs but the final image looks ok.

Just squeezed a little more from it, the stars haven't suffered too much.

Very nice nebulosity

[Andyfx]

Thanks Gina, I uploaded a .jpg and seem to have lost a little detail in the nebula, unfortunately the .png is huge!

Final re-sized .png version showing slightly more detail in the nebula.

Sorry, had to darken the background, not going to play anymore though lol.

Thats beautiful Andy!, The merope nebulosity is really starting to show nicely on the resized PNG, and that new posh flattener of yours is doing a great job, I'd be more that happy with the field now, just the tiniest bit of star distortion in the bottom left which I reckon is more likely slight orthoganality in your imaging train than anything as its just in the bottom left as far as I can tell. Another beautiful image to add to your collection mate:)

Thanks mate, I just posted a redo of this with even more colour and detail!
