M45 HaRGB from Bortle 8

[Padraic M]

Imaging M45 for the first time in HaRGB, from city suburbs. The night was moonless but quite cloudy. I was lucky with the RGB, but not so much with the Ha. I've used all of the Ha lights, but they haven't contributed much to the overall image.  That's probably not surprising given that this is reflection nebulosity, reflecting the light of the nearby stars.

Nice image!

Nice image but you won't see much emission in M45 as it's mainly reflection nebula.
