Description

This is a combined LRGB processed image of the Pleiades ( M45) which was taken on the 19-11-2017. What makes this special for me is after a lot of help and tuition on how to take and process a colour image from my friend Carole Pope I finally managed this image solo. The camera I used was a mono Atik 460EX with a filter-wheel attached to a William Optics Zenithstar 61 APO. The filters were L, R,G,B added to Lights and Darks images. 10 exposures on each x 5min @ - 10 c . making a total of approx 200 min exposure time, I think. (dont hold me to it or please correct me )
