Description

Taken over three nights. 200x180 second exposures combined with dark, flats, and bias for a 10 hour composite image of the Seven Sisters, M45 Star Cluster with nebula visible.

Having the camera converted to full spectrum has introduced issues with UV/IR saturation. A Baader EOS M48-T2 adapter with UV/IR cut filter installed to mate to the MPCC III (hopefully ensuring that the coveted 55mm of focus is now achieved).
