Description

M45 from the Experience Learning Center on Spruce Knob. I couldn't believe the dark nebula structures I could see in the Taurus region this night. A wonderful night. First expedition really using the Canon Ra on the AP 92mm. While not totally designed for full frame, the scope/camera combination works very well and can really hold up to only minor cropping. I cropped this field a little more for compositional interest.
