Description

M45 (Pleiades) cropped, taken from Ibra Tombs (Oman), 1750m, with Hyperstar 6 and ZWO 1600MM Cooled CCD.

9 X 3 min exposures monocrome only.

I took 20 flats, 20 bias and only 5 darks. Cooled at -10 degC.

Hyperstar causes reflection artifacts on bright stars unfortunately, but the level of details is still nice. I am starting loving this setup. Compact, very portable and incredibly capable.

I hope you enjoy.
