M45 - From New Mexico

Another M45 - this one was taken using the iTelescope service.

About 1 hour each of RGB and 2 hours of Lum. Taken with a Tak FSQ106 and STL11000.

For some reason there is nasty blooming in G and some less severe blooming in B. I used the Star Halo Reducer script in PI to remove them. There also were some nasty white pixels in the flat used for calibration of the Lum - I had a go at Cosmetic Correction which removed most but not all of the black spots in the finished image.

Comments welcome
