M45 from last night

[Rossco72]

Hi all,

This is M45 under too much moon last night. Only managed 100 minutes but here it is. Needs more signal and less noise, less moonlight would help too

Very nice mate, perhaps a touch too Cyan but otherwise excellent.

Thanks,

Also know I need more data but the -8 temp and the 75% moon were conspiring against me...

I would have swapped the  feezing temp and the Moon for the lack of clouds, it always seems to me that clouds just appear and park themselves where I am imaging and the rest of the sky is cloud free.

A good effort agree with above a bit cyan. Do you know what the blue spots are (mostly visible on the left part of the image)?

Unfortunately the moon became an issue later on in the evening, especially in that part of the sky though I was imaging in the opposite direction.

You need warmer clothes if a mere -8°C is getting to you

In the middle of the 4 main stars there are a couple of smaller fainter stars, one blue and one yellow,, they have always fascinated me, do you know names or anything about them?
