M45 and Venus Conjunction

[Astroman]

Undecided where to put this one :D

Conjunction between M45 (Seven Sisters) and Venus. 20 x 10s at ISO1600 and 20 x 10s at ISO800 Stacked in Deep Sky Stacker and Photoshop. Taken with an 80mm f450mm Refractor on an Orion Teletrack, Alt/Az GOTO Mount.

Sorry about quality, not sure whats going on there... Will re-look at it when I am more awake :)

Looks very good and very natural Andrew. I like the view, it's cloudy here so I'm enjoying the images while doing my special dance.

My comments when seeing images from IIS is "finally an image that is not flipped up!" :-)

Nice result Andrew. As Mike said, it certainly shows how bright Venuus is!

Cheers,

the refractor makes a difference - sharper than mine and without the cloud - well done

[Astroman]

Thanks all..

Yes Venus is amazingly bright and makes it difficult to shoot, but combining the two images helped. Only thing about the refractor is because venus is so bright there are lots of lens reflections, which I tried to put out of the image, but moving Venus around :D...
