Widefield of the Pleiades


Space Oddities

Recommended Posts

After months of bad weather, I finally got clear skies last night, and coincidentally, no Moon. So I thought it was a good opportunity to photograph comet C/2022 E3 ZTF, but it doesn't rise until late in the night.

So in the meantime, I thought I'd photograph the Pleiades, a target I imaged a long time ago when I was still discovering AP :) 

Here is about 4 hours (50 x 300s) with my WhiteCat 51 and ASI2600MC (gain 100, -10°C, no filter) from my Bortle 7 terrace. Stacked with DSS and processed with Pixinsight and GraXpert which did a great job at removing the gradients!
