First time imaging in a while - M45

[Victor Boesen]

The weather really hasn't been on my side and when it has it wasn't for long. This changed last night where I started out visiting the two gas-giants Jupiter and Saturn and later in the evening setting up my Evostar 72 for imaging the Pleiades. After getting polar-aligned I noticed the mount wasn't tracking as good as I'd hoped for and it struck me, that I haven't changed batteries on the star adventurer since I got it so I was limited to 1min subs which proved to be okay taking my bortle 7-8 conditions in mind. I ended up with 27X1min subs no adjustment frames with my Nikon D3300 unmodded at ISO 800 and a photo that I'm actually quite satisfied with compared to my experience with imaging with this scope without a reducer.

Feedback is very much appreciated!

Clear skies!
