Description

Just a quick process of one of the shots from the weekend which I managed to slip in at 4:00 this morning. I thought that I would try a shot of M45, the Pleiades cluster in Taurus. I was unaware at the time that Comet Panstars - 2015 ER61 was passing through and managed to catch it (green diffuse object upper-mid right). Unfortunately, I only managed to get 6 x 5min exposures so it's a bit noisy.
