Description

A complete rework and framing from my previous version of the Pleaides.

This version was to show more of the dust clouds surrounding the reflection nebula which is just as interesting as the star cluster and it's nebula itself.

Captured from my home in Gérgal, Almería, Spain in two nights 28 and 29th of November 2021

Subframes: 
Red: 168 x 120s = 5.6h
Green 172 x 120s = 5.7h
Blue 172 x 120s = 5.7h

Calibration
20 x Darks and Flat Darks
