M45 - Pleiades Open Cluster
Date Captured: 15 December 2023
Location: Livingroom deck, Prospect Lake
Scope: Zenithstar 61
Flattener/Reducer: Flat61R
Filter: None
Camera: ASI533MC
Exposure: 57.5 min (115x30s)
Processing: Siril with Starnet++
Comments: Tough seeing conditions with low clouds / fog over lake, which affected star quality. Had to shoot between trees, which limited total exposure time but was very pleased with the result, all things considered. My biggest personal achievement is starting to pull out some detail in the reflection nebula. Even an average result of this target is special.
