NYE Pleiades

Too long since I was out trying Astro… same old story: new job, never a good sky when you have any time etc….Anyway, we were away in Daylesford for NYE with nice Bortle 4 skies. It was windy but clear and I managed to catch 20 x 2min subs of this favourite before it dipped behind the trees. Don’t look too closely as I’ve teardropped the stars (wind?).

Redcat 51
Zwo 2600MC (love this camera!)
SkyGuider pro
20 x 2 min light
20 x 2 min dark
No flats or bias
Stacked and processed in Affinity Photo.
Now added a second version, processed a little further to draw out the nebulosity from the same data.

Any and all feedback welcome.
Clear skies,
Paul
