Not sure about the difraction spikes though. It's a refractor. LOL
Trevor,

That's why I do it. I think only the largest open clusters are worth doing this on. The Pleiades sans spikes... nah. Don't like it. Well, it's great for showcasing nebulosity, but, I don't see how the spikes interfere. Yes, OK, I agree, my last attempt at M45 was pretty bad with the thick spikes. It would turn out a lot better with thin ones. Looking forward to trying again.
