Description

Quite unexpected that I got this much out of this set of subs. It was a run of 21x60s subs (17 stacked 4 discarded) taken as a last ditch effort to at least have something to tinker with after a session gone wrong.

Although a very modest image, I am very happy to see any form of nebulosity in the cluster at such a short amount of exposure time from a Bortle 8 zone. Will definitely attempt to capture the Pleiades in the near future.
