M45 through my finder scope.

I shot this M45 through my finder scope. I have the worlds best finder scope, a Tak FS-60C. Since I can't afford a big chip camera, I had to do the next best thing and just use a wider field scope with my SXV-H9. I used a Meade 6.3 focal reducer on the back of the Tak to get M45 to fit on the small chip. 10 luminance shots and 5 shots with each RGB filter.

That's pretty good, Ralph.
Blooming stars and reflections usually plague M45 images, but you've handled it well.
