About Something a little different! An image of The Pleiades or Subaru, a conspicuous and beautiful cluster of stars on the eastern sky right now - they look like a mini plough (or big dipper for US viewers). The naked eye can't detect the fibrous strands of gas that are illuminated by the stars but long exposure photography is able to capture it in all its glory. This image was created from two 9 minute exposures using sigma clipped averaging in Images Plus. The images were captured with my Fuji S2 Pro through my TMB 130mm f/7 (910mm focal length) aprochromatic refractor telescope. The telescope was mounted on a Losmandy GM8 equatorial mount which is driven by electric motors to follow the movement of the stars across the sky. In order to get pinpoint accuracy, I manually guided the motors using a hand controller to minimise relative movement.

Beautiful capture, Barry. Very lovely; one of my favourite clusters. My digtial camera takes only to 64 seconds so I am not able to really get into astrophotogarphy. I can get nice constelation shots. Through my scope, I have managed some decent Moon shots which I posted.

Barry,

Great job. At my "dark site" I am still a bit too close to New York City and the megapolis of the eastern seaboard of the US to get as good contrast between the faint nebulosity and the relatively light sky background to get as good an image on film.

Ian, yes the two exposures help reduce noise. I'd normally do at least four exposures and as many as sixteen as noise is reduced by a factor equal to the square root of the number of images. However, the batteries ran out after two exposures and it was damned cold so I packed in while the going was good!

Gorgeous, Barry.
Is the dual exposure for removing noise?
Called Mataariki by the maori in New zealand by the way, rise in june and mark the start of their year.

hello barry..
amazing shot.. i love the astronomy and this one is my old dream.. agreat catch and exposure!
very very good..
ůhave captureed a perfect "nebulosity" on star.. only with the long long long exposure have this effect, also the the movement of earth spin is followed perfectly.
have bloccked a perfect atmospehre and poetry.
IMHO.. perhaps more sky for being balanced lacks only the inferior part.
cheers
