The Pleiades Star Cluster

Hi All,

While I was weighting for Comet Lulin to get high enough to image. I took a quick LRGB image of M45 The Pleiades Star Cluster. The clouds rolled in so I could not get as much data as I wanted here is the result of my labour.

23 February 2009 LRGB- 60 -10-10-10 Mins through a William Optics FLT-110 Triplet APO refractor Atik 4000 cdd camera. Guided with a Celestron 80ED And Sac 4.2 CCD camera with PhD guiding software On a CGE mount. Processed in Images Plus V3.5 and Photoshop CS2.

Thanks for looking,

Amazing detail Carl, stunning result, well done.

"I could not get as much data as I wanted here is the result of my labour." - I laugh at you sometimes!

Great image Carl,

Greetings my fellow Astronomers ,

Thanks for the comments. I know I just got Five Of The Seven sisters the reason I left out the other two out is because the are the ugly sisters of the bunch.:whistle: :whistle: No just kidding I couldn't fit them in the FOV I was planing on doing a mosaic but the weather has different plans for me.

Carl :whistle: :whistle:
