BUT - still not too much joy!

Starting to think the Light Pollution at that low location in the sky is causing the issue.


Look that's ok..possibly needs more subs..and what ISO did you use?

I was mucking around with M45 last night & started on ISO400 @4 mins. I suspect if I got enough subs it'll be ok but with cloud rolling in I went to ISO800 (can 450D std) with ED80...only 4 shots before the dreaded cloud.
