Pleiades (M45)
Pleaides was one of my first targets when I got into astrophotography last year. I did a little over an hour with 1 minute exposures at the time. Looking back at that image this year, it was obvious I had blown out the stars and overstretched/oversaturated the colors. This year I decided to try 8 to 10 hours woth 30 second exposures. I think it turned out much better.
Exposures: 1191 x 30 seconds (9hrs 55mins 30sec)
Equipment:
Sky Watcher Wave 100i
