Description

My first attempt at imaging the Pleiades; a fun and familiar target.  I took the data in late October but lately I’ve been so interested in Jupiter and Mars that it has taken me a while to finish processing the data.  My procrastination worked out though because I got to use the new PI SpectrophotometricColorCalibration (SPCC) Tool.  Seems to be a powerful tool and not hard to use (once I got my GAIA DB updated).  The SPDD tool gave me confidence in the colors, even though I altered (just a tiny bit) the colors  later in Affinity Photo.
