R1k Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 First attempt at the Pleiades after taking my first image ever in June. As always keen on receiving CC (I am not happy with the star field). This is 75 minutes (15 x 5 minutes) using a modified Canon 800d and SW ED80, no filter. Stacked and calibrated in APP and processed in PS CS6. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ande Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 What mount did you use? For 5 minute exposures the starfield looks beautiful and sharp. I would be overjoyed with that image. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theropod Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Had I produced this image I’d be crowing about it long and loud. Perfectionist much? 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sn2006gy Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 For my Pleiades I went with 100s of really short exposures. (45 seconds). I find with longer exposures you tend to lose the stars and the dust still comes through with shorter subs. Those 7 sisters are mega bright and long subs seem to cause them to bloat/get lost or surface halos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
