Here are the Pleiades taken over 2 nights in December.

H-alpha modded Canon 350D on Takahashi Epsilon 180ED with IR/UV filter

92x300sec exposures at ISO 800 plus 12x 150sec exposures at ISO 400 (to reduce star saturation)

[Edit:  changed the above link to v4 because v3 still had the Canon vertical banding]

Thanks for your comments. 
Even though I tend to be overcritical of my images, this one is an image I'm actually pleased with!

That is beautiful, Mark. Another raving success from the Shelley stables.

That's a very nice image Mark

Just had a look on the big screen and it looks wonderful.  There seems to be some vignetting effect going on in a couple of corners but that's barely noticeable.

Great image !
