Pleiades from coonabarabran

Hello,

Finally got to Coonabarabran last week.

I haven't been able to get there since March and I was rewarded with 3 beautiful nights.

This is my first photo from the trip, the Pleiades. Also the first time I have photographed them.

Please excuse the field rotation, my latitude setting was out by 2.5 degrees on the first night. No wonder my PHD graph was a zigzag show all night!
However my new EQ6 mount handled it well on its first outing.

What do you think?

Thanks for looking.
