Hi all:
It's been about a month since anyone has posted a M45 image.
Here is my go at this beautiful object. I might try to re-process to minimize the bright star halos, but I might not. The halos don't bother me much and I don't want to dilute the reflection nebulosity. This is basic LRGB processing with 5 minute subs. A full-sized clickable version is here:

I hope you enjoy one more M45! Thanks for any comments.
