M45 Pleiades

[jazza]

Hey all, 
Here's a look at the Pleiades last night.

Canon 7d, 400mm at f5.6 ISO 1600. 
15*2 min
6*5 min

This focal length is starting to test the mount, plus it was a bit windy, so I threw away around 20% of the 2 min subs, and nearly half the 5 min subs (unguided).
Beautiful target though.

That's very nice. You have picked up the dust in the reflection nebula really well.

5 minutes unguided and a windy night! Very impressive result.
