    Two from last night, seeing skies were clear at 6pm and set to stay for a good few hours I couldn't resist;


    M45 - Pleiades: Guiding didnt go so well due to a slightly rushed alignment so couldn't do the 5min exposures I wanted to do, I settled for 10X 3min and ended up discarding 4 subs. Messed up the flats (saved in JPG....) - Pixinsight and CS6 for post-processing

    Meade LXD75 N6AT
    Canon 1100D
    SW LPF
    6X 180s Lights
    10X Darks
    25X Bias
    Processed in Pixinsight/PS

    Luna: This is a mosaic created from 7 stacked 100X Liveview JPG captures on the Canon 1100D attached to Telescope - Stacked with REgistax v6 and mosaic done in Fitsworks

    Fantastic pics.

    Great progress. I cant wait to get my imaging setup back.

    Pics like these really give you the "get out there" feel :)

    Very nice Zeroy. Was tempted to head out myself but the gibbous Luna deterred me. You seem to have gotten the best of both worlds.

    Thanks, I imaged M45 first, before the moon rise or during. Didn't intent to image Moon but couldn't resist with the sky crystal clear that night.
