M45 - 500mm fl

 

Date:             1-26-2002

Location:        Seven Sisters Observatory   

Equipment:    83mm f6 refractor, G11, ST4, Canon F1, TT III 

Conditions:     Very Bright Full Moon - Wispy Clouds

Film:               Kodak PJ 400 Unhypered    

Exposure:       10 minutes

Comments:     This shot shows the full frame of the 35mm exposure.  There is a little distortion of the stars on the right side of the frame leading me to suspect a slight mis-alignment.  The bright moonlight precluded me from getting any nebular detail here.  There was very little vignetting on the frame!
