The first light of my first mono setup is finally done! I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time… and the imaging session had a few surprises in store.
The Merope Nebula is a reflection nebula associated with the star Merope in the Pleiades star cluster, located in the constellation Taurus approximately 400 light-years away from Earth. It reaches its annual culmination at astronomical midnight in late November.
The Maia Nebula is a reflection nebula associated with the star Maia in the Pleiades star cluster, located in the constellation Taurus approximately 400 light-years away from Earth. It reaches its annual culmination at astronomical midnight in late November.
Electra, also known as vdB 20, is a reflection nebula associated with a blue-white giant star located in the constellation Taurus, approximately 400 light-years away from Earth. It reaches its annual culmination at astronomical midnight in late November.

Specifically around August 4th.
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.
