My first attempt at the Pleiades (M45)

[merlinxlm]

Here is my attempt with 57min and 37sec of data. I've tried not to go to much with neatimage this time and I hope that I haven't gone to far with darkening the image. Any advice or comments?

Thank you.

Here is another attempt at the M45. I've done some work with the levels and I've installed Noel Carboni astronomy tools into PS CS4. And I must say its a brilliant app to install. Any comments appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi Merlin

To my untrained eyes, this looks stunning.
