Description

This seasons version of M45. This year's version was a first light with the Sharpstar 61 edph2. Had some spacing issues that I still have to work through and and accidental focuser rotation between the two days of imaging caused a significant crop to the image. I was hoping to go wide and capture a lot of dust outside the cluster. Not as wide as I hoped but the dust was a success in my mind. 

I have some unwanted blue halos happening as well, maybe due to the brightness of the stars in this area, something else to work though!

hope all is well, thanks for looking
