M45

At Harestua, I also tried my luck at M45, the Pleiades. I have attempted this object, so easy to find in the night sky, on several occasions from the rooftop terrasse of my apartment block. But it has always failed due to too much light pollution. At Harestua Solar observatory, the skies where a lot better. So I attempted approximately 1 hour of exposures on this object. It didn't come out too bad. Have seen better, but I am pleased with this attempt. Will try more exposure next time.
Technical details : Pentax K5, ISO 800, 80x45second exposure. Teleskop-Service 80mm F/6 triplet apo w/ William Optics field flattener on a Celestron Advanced VX mount. Processed in DSS and PS.
