Description

M45 Pleaides RGB

One of my favourite objects in the sky. You can see it with the naked eye and has so much ancient history attached to it.

This was imaged from my home in Gérgal, Andalucía, Spain over a few nights as a fill in object for some other targets.

This will be revisited to add lot's more data to bring out the dust, but for now it's about the soft wispy clouds that are illuminated by the severn Sisters.

I hope you enjoy my version of this timeless classic.Red: 168 x 120s = 5.6 H
Green 172 x 120s = 5.7 H
Blue 172 x 120s = 5.7 H
