M45  -  Pleiades


New Version
Reprocessed image using Steve Cannistra's tutorial. This image did not have any gradient so it was simply a matter of bringing out the details in the nebula. It does look more saturated and the contrast is still there. Overall, this technique worked out pretty well for a 15 minutes exposure
