Description:

This is the Pleiades from December 12, 2021 from the ATMoB (Amateur Telescope Makers of Boston) field in Westford, MA. Here are my acquisition details: - Orion SkyView Pro 100 EQ f/6 Achromat - Celestron Advanced VX Computerized Mount - Canon T2i and Intervalometer. - 22x180 sec lights (total 66 minute exposure) - 6 darks - 50 bias - 20 flats - Stacked in DeepSkyStacker - Post processed in Photoshop by adjusting levels, curves, vibrance, and saturation Although the image is from last year, the Pleiades has been rising earlier and earlier so I thought it would be an appropriate submission as motivation to observe/image M45 once again this year.
