Very cool, Patrick! I have never managed to take a nice pic of M45, though I've tried. My theory is that with a lot of short exposures stacked, the nebulosity would show up.
This was just an experiment so I intentionally used only 1" exposures. Next time I'll go longer and maybe that will bring out some nebulosity.
I plan to try again. Of course, the sheer size of the cluster is a big problem for me; I'd have to do a mosaic to get it all in.
Now that you are running TheSky making a mosaic could be pretty easy. Let me know if you'd like some pointers and I'll talk you through it. patrick
