Last night I had another go at The Pleiades. I used longer subs, 1:30 and took 44 exposures which I stacked in Deep Sky Stacker then transferred the result into Photoshop. There's a little more detail than last time but there's still more to he had. I was having trouble with the mount last night. When I added the guidescope the telescope became too front heavy and I believe the clutches are slipping. When I play the exposures in rapid succession I can see them jumping about which tells me that the tracking isn't quite right. The stars are a little oblong but overall I think it's not too bad!
