Description

First light with my ASI1600MM-P. I went from an OSC to a MONO mainly for narrowband ... but in the end I fell in love with LRGB. It is amazing how much data you can collect, and how easy it is to process it. I got all the subs from my garden, Bortle Class 6, under a street lamp. Yet the camera also managed to capture part of the dark nebulae surrounding the Pleiades! Unfortunately I became aware of their existence late, and some of them may have been eliminated along with the (few) gradients present. In the future I will reprocess this data.
