My first Pleades

[scotty365]

Well it took me a while to figure this Skyscan but I think I'm taming it a little bit now :-

It was the first time out in the field with my set-up and was limited by the moon and cloud.

Ive had a play with the original image in Photo-shop but I'll post a better one soon as this is a bit over cooked!

Thats a nice one Scotty 8)

You got the tracking spot on by the looks of it

[Ant]

Very nice scotty.

I do like images of M45. Nice FOV and the tracking is very good, even got some nebulosity coming through.

Nice one

Nice shot Sotty, glad to see that the lens is working OK, that's if you were using it.

Ace one there Scotty, can you give us some details of what you used etc?

Thanks everyone for your support and input - I used the 300D on its own on the skywatcher 200 no filters, the expo was for 50-60 seconds at ISO 800. Im having problems with alignment but it looks okay as far as trailing goes in the last set of pics.

I used Photoshop to reduce the L.P and enhance the blue.
