The Blue Tree

Here is my M45 from this week. I was going for depth. Bring on the Honders, I am ready!!!!

Wow, Tom! If you were going for depth, I'd say you found it! I don't think I've ever seen an image that shows that extent of the dust. Very cool!

The wispy dust looks like angel hair, very nice.

That's stunning, Tom! Indeed one of the best of M45 I've seen, if not *the* best ever! Boy, the Riccardi-Honders in your hands is going to be scary fun!

It doesn't appear that you need a Honders.

Excellent work, Tom.
I cringe whenever I see the Pleiades presented as only blue with a clipped, black background. It is, in fact, much more than that as you have shown.
Most of us have to suffer bright star reflections with this target.
How did you manage to get such a 'clean' image?
My regards,
