Description

Here are two versions of M45 I processed, the first one is from SRO, a shared remote observatory, and the second is from my backyard, using ASI2600MM-pro + Takahashi FC76-DS and Chroma LRGB filters. I imaged this on a dark moonless night which is a good thing, BUT right after our blizzard and a foot of snow happily reflecting all neighborhood photons into my telescope Got the ugliest gradients and was a nightmare to process, but I finally managed this image at the end of it!

Wanted to share both as a comparison exercise of what we can do with the same target from two very different locations and two different sets of equipment.
