46p Meets the Pleiades

[johnfosteruk]

50 frames with the Nikon 50mm, 3s, ISO 800, F1.8. 

It was all rather low down in amongst the local light pollution so I'm rather pleased. I made a hash of blending the foreground though.

That's a nice one. Glad you got a break from the clouds, it's been 3 weeks since a clear night here...

Nicely done John, I've been set up ready to catch it with the Pleiades and Hyades since it stopped raining earlier but it's still cloudy so I've missed my chance

Grat Job John.  Grabbed a few subs last night, just some calibration frames to gather this evening.

You got the pair, and a nice green comet.

Thanks everyone. I went out and took advantage of the rare clear sky again later as the Pleiades were transiting. Same settings but 100 subs. I've caught a little nebulosity this time as well and the comet colour is more accurate. That nebulosity has brought more noise though so I may reprocess with some masks.

I had a good look at 46p with binoculars too.
