Deep in the sky with the Pleiades
Posted on Januar 6th, 2014
The last time, when I was going to get some deepsky images with my Astrotrac, I turned my lens to the Pleiades. You can see this star cluster by your eyes in the constellation of the bull. The Messier object 45 is 380 light years away from Earth.
I took this image by 6 shots of 110s at f/5.6 with ISO 3200 on 400mm FF, no telescope. For the noise cancellation I used Fitswork as stacking software. And next time, I will also take some darks to eliminate the static noise.
