Description

Normally I do not do the same object multiple times in a row, except when there are some excellent conditions like here in the Atlas Mountains. Objects like M 31 and of course M 45 really deserves to be done from those excellent conditions, so here is M 45 with excellent conditions. Allot of faint nebula around the object came in view which I like allot.

With many thanks to Hans Hoogkamer for providing me with this opportunity in general, providing the material, providing a stay and much more! Also thanks to Janina Martynaityte and her mother for providing the good care during my stay in Maroc. Could not have done this without them!
