M45 - Very Early Days

[NZUSA (JIM)]

Hi all,
I thought I would post this image I got a couple of days ago, one of my first decent attempts with AP. Here at 46°S latitude the Pleiades only get up to 20° above the horizon, so not ideal at all. Then only 3 hrs of darkness to boot in the New Zealand summer.
Canon 600D w/ Samyang 135mm lens, SGP unguided, ISO 400 - 34 x 90s lights, 15 darks, 30 bias, 30 flats using BYE, DSS, SiriL and GIMP.
Any comments would be appreciated! Cheers JIM

Hey Jim,
That's a great image!
I love the Samyang 135mm lens, great at capturing heaps of lights with it's fast aperture.

Nice work Jim welcome to IIS . Heaps of willing to share their valuable knowledge.

Nice job Jim. The sweet spot for minimum noise with the 600D is ISO 800.
