M45 (Pleiades) with the Hypergraph 6

[GalaxyGael]

This is M45 imaged over a few shortish sessions on 4 nights recently where we had that miraculous gap in the low thick cloud cover that seems to have taken a shine to Cork city. The tweaks to the Hypergraph 6 summarized here seem to be working and it is a joy to use now. Holds collimation very well, haven't touch it in weeks. 

This was 283 x 120 s subs with the Hypergraph 6 using the ASI2600Mc Pro at -10C with Gain 100.

No filters.  Bortle 6 (SQM 19.96). 120 of the subs were under 98% moon, but seemed just fine to me. It was about 20 degrees away in the sky.

Guided with ZWO OAG on an iOptron GEM45.

Processed in Astropixel Processor and PS (CS5).
