Although thousands of miles apart Sonny & me seem to be imagining the same parts of the sky.
The star clusters within Cassiopeia & Taurus.
Last night I exchanged my trusty old Nikkor 180mm for the Evostar 72ED narrowing my fov considerable.
With an estimated 4 hours of clearish skies I sent the scope to the double cluster & then over to the rising Pleiades.
Techy Bits.....
Nikon D7000
SW Evostar 72 ED
OVL Flattener
HEQ 5 pro
DBL Cluster 25 lights @ 120s ISO400
M45 50 lights @ 60s ISO400
associated calibration frames
image sequence with APT
framing / alignment with EQMOD & all plate solve
stacked in DSS 64bit

These are both excellent. I like the color in the stars in the Double cluster. The nebulosity around M45 is nicely done. Thanks for sharing.
