Thanks for all the positive comments. I also like this more than the one of M45 that I got published on the Reflector Cover.

I like the tight field. It gives a perspective of being right there.





Very well done.

This is the center of the M45 Pleiades Blue Star cluster know as the Seven Sisters. This is not the entire group of stars but is at the center and shows that the bright young blue stars are behind a large molecular gas cluster and the blue stars illuminate the gas blue but it fades to the normal color on the side and in the background. The Pleiades lies about 400 light years away toward the constellation of the Bull (Taurus). Commonly called the Seven Sister, the actual number of visible Pleiades stars, may be more or less than seven, depending on the darkness of the surrounding sky and the clarity of the observer's eyesight.
Enjoy

Never mind.
I just realized That the reason I am seeing a difference between yours and mine is I’m using a focal reducer.
