This is my humble attempt at the Pleiades. Taking the images is easy but processing this one is tough. I had some mild reflections from the bright stars. The hardest thing on this one is finding the "true" color balance. I had several different versions and just picked the one that was the most visually pleasing to myself. It is a LRGB combination of 2 hours luminance 1x1 and 1.5 hours each RGB 1x1. Taken with Takahashi Sky 90 piggyback on 10" Lx200 GPS with SBIG ST-2000 XMI with remote guide head and color filter wheel with SBIG LRGB filters.
