Title: An early Pleiades
Post by: MarkS on Sep 04, 2016, 17:42:31
A quick Pleiades done before dawn on 31 August.  90 minutes of data in 30sec subs.  Sony A7S on Tak Epsilon 180ED.

Quickly processed as well.  I'll have another go when it is higher in the sky.

Ooooh, luvvly jubbly, lots of lovely coloured stars, loads of dust and the nebulosity starting to go pink near Merope, it's all there.  That camera is amazing.
