Description

Messier 45 - Pleiades

Taken at the start of January to test a light pollution filter with my DSLR. Only a few sub-frames taken in the test but the results look promising. The filter lets me take longer frames and more frames would lead to a far better image. I wanted to re-do M45 with my DSLR to show it in clearer context compared to my previous try at this object.
