Description

I was out doing a bunch of wide field imaging with my ZS61 and had only a few hours left on the last clear night. Could have added data to one of my NB images, but decided to go for M45 just to see what I could get. Broadband imaging at my location is really tough with the light pollution, and I didn't expect much from the small ZS61, but I went for it anyway. This is slightly cropped. And, I might have overdone the saturation a bit , but I kinda like it. Might be able to get a better result if I spend a bit more time on the post processing, but I have other fish to fry.
