Description

My first go at M45. 24 x 300s, Canon 1000D Cooled to -10c, 130PDS, HEQ5pro, CLS Clip, MPCC MK3. Flats, Bias and Darks. I intend to take this further by adding another 75 frames this year at least with some longer exposures if seeing allows. I am also having issues with additional unwanted diffraction spikes so if anyone knows what may be causing it I need some help.
