M-45

Gday...a image of M45 taken a few weeks ago, because of work I haven't had time to try any processing until today From my home the northern part of the sky is affected by LP so it was a hard slog trying to bring anything out. Five Ten minute subs where used with the Canon 350D set at 400iso using a FSQ-106 guided using a trusty ST-4 autoguider. Cheers

nice shot considering 350D! I'm surprised how much detail you've got there. I can't remember ... is your 350D modded?

Roger.

Nice one Stuart !

Very difficult in those LP conditions.

[Hagar (Doug)]

Very nice image. Loads of detail. Well done.

This turned out very well.
I like the fov you're able to get and of course the lovely FSQ just does it's thing so well. Top scope!

ST4 is still a great auto guider..

I think another 50mins of data would have smoothed the noise out and made processing that much easier though..
Still, that is the bane of this hobby.... if it aint the weather, it's the position in the sky, or then it's just life and work getting in the way.

Good job all the same.
