Description

At a distance of 430 LY, the M45 is easily visible to the naked eye here in the far north of NZ.  Since it has been a while, decided to  image the M45 and was able to salvage 70 of the 100 subs taken a few nights ago.  Always fond of the beautiful structure and the stars surrounding especially the more yellowish ones.
