Hi Simon,
Found a second one straight away after commenting on M45. So how many more messier left for you to do?
This image really surprised me, I just never thought that a setup such as this could produce such a clear image of a tight cluster like this. As Peter mentioned great balance as well, and you used only one exposure time. I know you prefer your images to err slightly on the bright side, but it still looks great to me. Just need to see if Mr A makes a comment or two on that aspect of the picture.
Keep well. Ray
