Description

Taken only 26 images as for some reason my scope shifted quite a bit during acquisition and i Lost some data. This was at Unit 120 Gain, Although I am not entirely sure which gain to use sometimes as I feel the stars were a little bloated and fuzzed out. considering the short timeframes involved here I was happy with the end result. The Pleiades, also known as the Seven Sisters and Messier 45, are an open star cluster containing middle-aged, hot B-type stars located in the constellation of Taurus. It is among the nearest star clusters to Earth and is the cluster most obvious to the naked eye in the night sky
