I've been meaning to shoot the Beehive cluster again, and here is the result. This is a simple RGB image with 20 minutes in each colour (8x150s). The moon was around day 8 or so, and fairly high. Perfect time to be going after a bunch of brightly coloured stars!

Pentax 400 SDUF II with STL-11000M camera at -20C; ambient -12; shot between midnight and 2AM.
