M45 - Pleiades - 29-11-07 - 350D

[jcm]

Just managed to have a go at this before the clouds rolled in. Was planning to image another target but the Peterborough weather was for clouds to arrive before midnight.

130mm APO at F6 , Canon 350D at 800 ISO , 20 X 4mins.

Thanks for the positive comments.

This image is better than the one I did earlier in the year.

Could have stretched it more.
