Description

M45 Pleiades taken at Lighthouse Observatory, Burleson Texas. Using TMB 80SS refractor at F6.3. Employed 216 subs at ISO1600 and 2 1/2 minutes each (9.00hr) on 1/16 (37), 1/17 (88) and 1/18 (91) using PixInsight processing software.

This is a very slight crop -- North is up.

Still searching for a suitable FR/FF for this scope to elimate the coma.

First iteration had 126 subs. Not sure if the additional 91 subs added anything to the image.
