Deep Sky Imaging Session - November 24, 2024

The sky after midnight was a bit clear so I quickly set up to image old favorites M45 Pleiades star cluster in the constellation of Taurus as well as M42 Great Orion Nebla in the constellation of Orion. My plans to capture these 2 beauties were cut short by sudden appearance of fast clouds that interrupted my imaging session thus I was only able to get a measly total integration time of only 25 minutes each... Nevertheless, results are still ok IMHO but of course it can improve further with longer integration time next imaging sessions. Anyway, both M45 & M42 were taken using ZWO ASI294MC PRO Astro Camera on Borg 76ED Refractor with 0.8x Reducer / Flattener and STC AstroMultiSpectra Broadband Filter with total integration of 25minutes each (25 x 60 sec) at -5 deg C.
