Description

Here is an old favourite, the Pleiades. It is mostly a test of my newly-cleaned mirror. I think I need to tweak the collimation a tad, but there is a lot more detail than in the version I attempted earlier in the week with a dirty mirror. I would have gotten more of the 300s luminance frames, but I was shooting late in the night to avoid moonlight and ran out of time before dawn.

Description: Reprocessed, using BlurXTerminator, and some extra Luminance frames. I turned the saturation down a bit, too.
