Colorful Coconino Pleiades

Reprocessing data always reminds me of its capture. The data here is from the fall of 2020 while we were staying at an A-frame cabin between Flafstaff and Sunset Crater.

The Pleiades captured the evening of 2020-09-15 with a William Optics RedCat 250/51mm Petzval refractor and ZWO ASI533MC cooled astrophotography camera controlled by a ZWO ASIAir Pro. This image includes data from 77 60" light frames and 15 minutes of dark frames taken at unity gain (101) at -10C in 30 second exposures. Most processing was in PixInsight with final crop and exposure in PhotoShop. Reprocessed with the RC-Astro Noise/Blur/StarXTerminator PixInsight plugins.
