Mars and Pleiades

[FenlandPaul]

With the next couple of weeks looking  to be dogged with cloud, I decided to capture Mars and Pleiades while I still could.  I had about window of about an hour before moonlight started to get intrusive, and even then I was fighting with gradients (hence quite a tight crop for 135mm).

But I'm pleased with the result and the gorgeous colour contrast of these two.

Canon 6D with Samyang 135mm at f/2.8, 77x 60s subs with darks and flats at ISO800 on a StarAdventurer Pro.  Stacked in DSS and processed in Photoshop.  Feedback, hints and tips welcome as always!! ☺

Nice framing and I love the nebulosity from Pleiades coming through as well.
