A very pleasing result. Can you provide more details on processing?

I've come to the uninformed conclusion after four years of AP that star clusters are the hardest things to image. M44 is the only one I've been brave enough to post on SGL; all my other attempts were in my opinion not up to standard. I've had so many attempts at M45 I've lost count!

Thanks for sharing.

Nice work any calibration frames , what iso are you using , you could try Startools free to try , learning curve a bit easier.

Iso 200 is the recommended iso for Nikon D5300  I use this camera too, it is iso invariant .
