Description

Everyone has to have an image of the Pleiades. I set up the C11 Edge HD with the Hyperstar to get f/2 imaging. This set up is great for wide field and is very fast. I captured 60 lights at 20 secs each, 40 darks, 40 bias, 40 flats and 40 flat darks.

Description: On reflection...no pun intended, this image was a bit light on. I used the curves function in PixInsight to brighten and slightly increase saturation.
