Description

Life has been extra busy for me in recent months due to multiple family and automotive pursuits. But I have managed to carve out some time for this wonderful hobby.

This image is processed from LRGB data courtesy of a DSW subscription using a QSI 583wsg camera connected to a Rokinon 135mm with Astrodon filters. I have focused my processing efforts on the Lum data to reveal extended dust in the Pleiades region.

Wishing everyone clear skies and good health.
