Hi Guys

15min exposure ( 1.5 mins + 1mins subs ) from Dartmoor. It was rather hazy but I kept imaging M45 till a dense fog come over so I hardly sow my scope

Martin, Nice image, is that a hint of whispiness on the bottom central star (Merope ??)

[steppenwolf]

A very attractive image, Martin.

If you placed a few diamonds on a Black Satin cushion, they would not look

as good as this.

It's a beautiful picture Martin. There is a nebulous glow, but I think this

Particular image is better for it being absent. IMO.

Very nice Martin!

Out of interest have you taken a flat to reduce the vignetting, its really easy and gets rid of that pesky tunnel effect?

[beamish]

Another pleasing image from your good self Martin, well done,

Actually I have not. Thanks for advice. That vignetting does my head in

I guess if you want to be ultra careful, but assuming you have no dust motes buildup, i will only take a flat when the neeed arises, certainly not after every session.

Would this be one of these times then????

Great image Martin, I just love spider vein spikes on the Pleiades.

BTW ... You have my respect for your adventures on to Dartmoor with equipment on tow! Thats no mean feat no-matter what the forecast! Do you go right out in to the sticks or just on the edge of the moor ?

Thanks Matt, I just go on the edge of the Dartmoor but when I got more time I plan to find better location with less light pollution.

I took 1 flat a while back for both my scopes, don't take any more

Works a dream.

Does that answer your q?
