Description

One of the "standard" targets for astrophotographers in fall are the Pleiades, M45. This year, I used my RASA 11 with the QHY600PHC-Pro to image them. 60x60" in RGB, processed in Pixinsight, cropped slightly to emphazise them better in the center.
For me, it seems to be important to show the detailed nebula among and around them - therefore the contrast must not be too high.. I hope, I achieved it properly.
