This image was in response to a challenge to image the small faint nebula next to Merope in the Pleiades - IC349. Very small object about the size of Mars. I have included a picture of the object taken by Hubble.

Large image M45 - LRGB with 160EDF and STL11000 camera, 10 images at 60 seconds each.
