The Seven Sisters - M45

I was working nights back in late august monitoring a remote test, what better time to setup the scope and capture some data... I took several exposure lengths on this one, 5s, 15s, 60s and 300s... this was my first attempt to combine different exposure levels to highlight the bright stars without losing the nebulosity around them.

The RASA 8 has a great field of view for M45, able to capture all of it in one frame.

65 x 5s, 80 x 15s, 39 x 60s, 11 x 300s - Total Exposure ~2 hours
