M45 up Close missing a couple of stars new
      #1983758 - 11/14/07 12:16 AM Attachment (28 downloads)

Image from last night consists of 44x300sec ISO 800 subs with Canon 20Da, 8 inch F4 GSO with IDAS LPS and MPCC guided on Atlas mount with PHD/Eqmod. Stacked in DSS and processed in IP PSP and Pixinsight LE.

The larger version looks better.

Good image of the central part of M45. It looks like the long exposure captured a lot of wispy nebulosity.
