M45
Photo description / processing
Well, I've finally re-shot the Pleiades
The only thing is, the processing isn't mine but my friend's, using paid PixInsight and scripts
For some reason I don't understand, the stack came out really bad with a bunch of artifacts, and I just couldn't process it properly anymore
I do have a theory that it's due to light pollution from Prague since it's in that direction +/- and from streetlights that were shining, but I'm not sure. In any case, I re-shot it now just to have a better stack than the last one, and in the future I plan to re-shoot it from a Bortle 6 site
