Description

While working on my next big project, I had some spare time 1 hour before dawn. As I happened to be in a dark site location, I figured I'd may as well snatch this iconic open star cluster! Shooting this from home would be far less convenient. I had some issues with high winds unfortunately during the acquisition of the RGB data. Luckily the Lum channel was taken in a separate night with perfect conditions.

For such a small project, im really happy with the result, enjoy the pic guys!
