First M45

[Hughsie]

These last few months I have been working with APT to capture short exposure images with my William Optics Z61. Last night was my first time bringing APT and PHD2 together to guide so that I could achieve longer exposures.  All a bit nerve racking really!

One of my favourite Messier objects is M45, however, it wasn't ideally placed with a street light sitting beneath it for most of the session. Below is the captured image comprised of;

40 subs x100 s exposure

15 Flats

15 Dark Bias

15 Darks

Massive issue with the street light but gradient xterminator seems to have removed the worst of it. 

Thank you for checking in.
