M45 - Pleiades or the Seven Sisters

Finally, clear skies again.
Even though it was low on the horizon and full moon coming up, I had to try the M45.

Mount: SW HEQ5 Pro GOTO
Scope: SW ED80
Main camera: Canon EOS-M6 M2
Guide camera: ZWO ASI120MM mini on ZWO OAG
Polar alignment software: Sharpcap 2.9
Acquisition software: APT
Staking software: DSS
Post-processing software: Photoshop 2020
lights: 45x 60 seconds ISO1600
darks: 20x 60 seconds
flats: 20x

I went back to M45 yesterday night after plate solving in APT worked like a dream but after 15 subs the clouds rolled in. I will add this data in this evening and see if it will improve.
