Southern Pleiades

A couple of chaps liked this image in the beginners section, not sure if it's worthy to post here but I liked the subtle colours after discovering the 'masked stretch' process in Pixinsight....

Managed to capture this beautiful little constellation/cluster when out at the ASV dark site the other week, can't capture it from home as it's always too low below our roof.

16 shots @ 5 mins, ISO800.

I'm rapt to be able to image at 5-10 mins now, but then all of a sudden, after upgrading to v2.3.1 of PHD, I can't align or guide for quids! Gotta troubleshoot or I'm back to 20 sec subs! Grrr...
