Deep Sky Imaging Session - November 27, 2024

The sky this evening is clear after I got home from a birthday party so I quickly setup to image again on M45 Pleiades star cluster as I was cut short by almost overcast sky after a short 25 minutes integration time only last session. I started right away after midnight but as soon as I started imaging, clouds again started to pester me in the early part but fortunately, after around 30 minutes past, the sky become clear again for me to continue my imaging session with M45 starting to gets lower into the western horizon. Although I was able to get about 2 hours worth of integration time, I decided to just use only 90 minutes as by the time I finish my imaging run, it was already hovering below 40 degrees. Nevertheless, I'm still happy to be able to get a better shot of M45 than my previous session. I also plan to image this again under the dark sky in Tanay to get better contrast and more nebulosity then what I'm imaging under the bad Bortle 8-9 sky in Manila.
