Pleiades - M45

[Skipper Billy]

Despite truly appalling seeing, wind and 50% moon as it was only the second clear(ish) night this season I couldn't resist having a go.

5 hours in total - 3 hours Lum binned 1x1 and 40 mins each RG and B binned 2x2.

Gear as per signature.

Criticism most welcomed.

Blimey Billy, that's bright.
So unused to seeing it so bright or with all that nebulosity (see my signature),
that I find it rather overpowering.
This is not a criticism by the way, as I have great respect for you imagers.

Bad conditions but nice image Billy. Great start

That’s a nice image, I like the prominence of the nebulosity around the core stars. I hadn’t noticed the nebulosity/dust? surrounding the cluster before but I’ve looked at a couple of APODs of this object and it’s all there. 

Great job👍
