Title: M45 The Pleiades 150112
Post by: Fay on Jan 15, 2012, 09:37:14
well while waiting for the Monoceros to come out of the tree I just did this for something to do. not enough subs & would be better in RGB, but my RGB filters are on the Atik filter wheel. first time I have used the L filter with the QSI.

13x300, QSI, Lum filter, 0.85fr, ED80

I don't recall seeing a mono image of M45, could it do with a bit more contrast ?
