Description

Last night I managed to image the Pleiades for the first time since I have my new setup! Quite stunned by the result! The image is a stack of 90x60s unguided exposures ( I had planned 120 exposures but the target disappeared behind the neighbours' house after 90! ). Usual setup with skywatcher quattro 8" f/4 telescope equipped with Explore Scientific coma corrector on NEQ-6 mount connected to a Canon 600d stock camera.
