Description

A slightly different image from me. This one I took at the Eldorado Star Party in October with a uncooled DSLR, my Canon 6D using a Canon 70-200L lens @200mm f5.6. 41 (120sec) exposures at ISO 3200 for a total of 82min. While I have shot M45 in the past at different focal lengths I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of background dust the 6D picked up. It was a cool night so that obviously helped a lot with thermal noise. This is probably the deepest exposure I've done around the Pleiades. The camera was mounted on my Astro Trac and portable pier and shot unguided.
