The Beehive Star cluster

My image of the Beehive Star cluster in Cancer taken with my 1300D DSLR Canon camera attached to my 80mm ED APO Sky watcher Refractor telescope fitted with a field flattener.  The telescope was mounted on my EQ5 GOTO Mount. I captured 160 images, at 45s and 800ISO, 35 flat frames and 30 dark frames all stacked in Sequator and processed in Siril and Gimp 2.10. I used an intervalometer to control the camera and a Bahtinov mask to focus on a bright star.
