Hi, Long time between posting, but I recently managed to bag this image of M45 while on holiday in Devon. Done using my ED80 on a HEQ5 Pro with my Canon 1000D, The guiding was done using a Meade DSI. Exposure details as follows, 2x240sec,6x360sec, 3x120sec. Stacked in DSS and put through Photoshop by my brother (He manages Photoshop better than me!)

The only thing is we didn't notice that I had not set the camera to RAW and did all the shots in JPG

The full size image can be found on my Flickr page M45 - The Pleiades | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

A good amount of nebulosity picked up and focus and tracking look spot on. Did you take any flats this would help with the vignetting?

What Kevin said. You've also picked up the red tinge in the nebulosity towards the bottom of the image. Good work!

Thanks for the comments, I didn't take any flats - Now added that to the list of things to learn how to do (and remember to do!)
