Default M45 - a work in progress

Hi All
I have been trying to finish off my project of doing the 3 main coponents of the veil nebula in narrow band and managed to get the rest of the Ha data and some of the OIII on Wednesday night but then cygnus sank to low in the sky to continue so I turned my sights to M45 which had just cleared my house and managed to get 16x5 minutes with a CLS filter before it got too light to continue. This will be the basis for a full LRGB image which I will complete at a later date. This is my third try at this object which I tried two years ago and the beginning of last year, these attempts can be seen on my website http://www.imagingtheheavens.co.uk on the star clusters page in the image gallery for comparison. This was taken with the BRC-250 and H36 on the Paramount ME with autoguiding done via a lodestar
Thanks for looking
Best wishes
Gordon

Incredible detail. I don't often see detail like that in Pleiades shots. I look forward to the colour version.

Cheers,
