M45 - 2007-02-18

Komorow, Poland

This session was a sort of recovery from failure. Despite very good sky conditions, Pleiades started to set towards west, where I do have bright lights of a close railway station. I forgot to turn the IDAS LPS filer into the optical path, and did not take proper flats. Most of the processing time was devoted towards fighting with vignetting and light pollution gradients and color casts :-)
