Southern Pleiades IC 2602 with SN10

Some people call this pairing the Southern Double Cluster.

Taken last December with the SN10. Reprocessed with the current HDR method. Guiding was a bit iffy as the modded EQ6 had over 40kg payload above the mount and there was intermittent breezes. I have since fixed this by adjusting out the tiny amount of backlash that was present in the worm gears. I have also changed the guidescope FL to double the original. I am also tuning the paracorr distance to better suit the SN10.

Canon 5DH, Meade SN10 with Paracorr so scope is now f/4.6and a FL of 1160mm, Fridge at -10C.
Exposures 10x( 30s, 1m, 2m, 4m) ISO 800.
