Description

Messier 45, possibly best known as The Pleiades, is an open cluster in the Taurus constellation. It lies, on average, about 445 light years from Earth. Also known as the Seven Sisters, it in fact contains more than a thousand stars and is one of those objects which is also spectacular visually, as well as an astrophotography target!

My first time attempting this target with the ASI2600MC Pro...cropped due to future needed backspacing adjustments...

Thanks for looking!
