M45 The Pleadies just out of reach

[leon]

High Guys.

I am desperate to get the Pleadies, M45 on my camera chip, but find it is just out of reach, by a bees dick, :sadeyes: it needs to be just that bit higher to clear the shed roof.

Of Coarse i could pull every thing down and head out to Kens but that is a hell of a lot of work for one image. :whistle:

Could someone please tell me when M45 will be at it's highest during this part of the year.

Thanks Leon :thumbsup:

I reckon cut the shed Leon. Plus if this doesn't work, move in with ken, he has swags of room, enough for a pool hall. LOL.
I will look on my planetarium software and get back to you, or I am sure someone will. They don't get all that high anyway, so when it is on the meridian is as high as it will get regardless.

ahh...I saw the Pleiades last night for the first time thru my little scope...it raised just enough about the roof of the house for me. Very nice. And the Great nebula in Orion. My little ETX125 picks it out in pretty decent detail, however it lacks the light gathering capacity to bring me all the rich colourings. But it was great to view in anycase.

OK thanks guys, that means I'm stuffed, :whistle: at that time it is really below the roof, looks like a shed with no roof, :D move in with Ken :scared: or go out in the field one day soon.

Leon :thumbsup:

You are a cruel man Phil.. :sadeyes:
