Here's another of many attempts at M45. This is actually 8 hours and 20 minutes taken in NM. I did 4 hours of 300 second RGBs, 4 hours of 600 second luminance, 4 hours of 300 second luminance and 20 minutes of 60 second exposures. I combined the luminance files with a PixInsight HDR combine tool and then created the LRGB. The "trail" on the bright star on the left is not a satellite. It's something created by the glass.

This is like imaging heaven to me:) -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list.
