Machholz&Pleiades

Machholz&Pleiades(Tom Diana)

Acquisition Date : January 6, 2005
Camera : Canon 300D (Hutech modified)
Camera Settings : Raw mode, ISO 800
Telescope : Zeiss 180mm f/2.8 lens @f/4
Mount : Losmandy GM-8
Processing Package / Processing Applied : Three exposures @ 3 min. each.
Images were aligned and combined in ImagesPlus. The composite was adjusted (Levels, Curves, Color Balance, Cropping) in Photoshop CS
NOTES : This is a resubmission of an earlier image that consisted of 10 3 min. shots. I decided to forego the extra exposures for better detail in the comet's tail.
