Description

M45 The Pleiades... I did this work using a DSLR in an attempt to capture a wider field of view.

But, I guess I did not correctly place the reducer in the imaging train and that resulted in field curvature. I believe it requires a 55mm back-focus but I a not sure where the sensor is within the D5300.

Anyway, I cropped a lot of that out and I thought that which was left over was not too terrible.

I will likely try this one again but perhaps with a Sammy 135mm...
