Description

I was looking for some targets that I could shoot early while waiting for M45 to rise and found that my old Elephants Trunk only had around 1,5 hours of data ... generally unhappy with my old images (because the present Frank is much cooler and better than the past Frank ... what a self-absorbed sod ...) I decided to add some substantially more exposure to the image and see what I can get out.

This, again is an image where I had a hard time to get the stars nice ... even though I stacked only the 30% sharpest to replace the highlights ... still a riddle to me how I can get more consistency ... Anyway, hope you like it!
