M45 Pleiades

M45 Pleiades


The imaging data for M45 Pleiades was captured in the Shenandoah National Park on September 24, 2017. The telescope was a Takahashi FSQ 85ED and the mount was an Astrophysics Mach 1 GTO with guiding provided by Borg 50 mm guidescope and phd2 software. Imaging camera was a Nikon d750 full frame. The photo consists of 11 images of 600 seconds each (1.83 hours of acquisition) which were stacked in Deep Sky Stacker (DSS).  This raw image was then processed in Pixinsight to obtain the final image.
