Astrophoto: Pleiades – Messier 45 – 12/21

I found unused M45 data while organizing my astrophoto data. The Pleiades data is from 2021, the telescope already sold and the picture reprocessed after a single month due to a new plugin.

Messier 45, M45, The Pleiades - Processed after 2 years and then reprocessed a month later.

71 subs each 180s collected at the end of 2021 and found unused in november 2023. I sold the used telescope already, but I had to process the data.

Reprocessed

Only one month after using this older material I reprocessed the astrophoto. The reason was, that the PixInsight plugin BlurXTerminiator was much better that I expected. Here is the old result:
