Description

Encouraged by so many beautiful images of M45 produced by members of my local club, NOAVC, this is an RGB image of the Pleiades taken with the TEC160FL mated with a .72 reducer and using a QHY 600 mono camera with filter wheel.   This included images gathered over several nights in early to mid December 2021.  This was processed in a manner to deliberately highlight the nebulosity.   There are so many ways to process the Pleiades, I had a hard time deciding which version I liked.   I settled on the image created from 180 second frames.
