California and M45 repro - a photo on Flickriver

I was going to replace the original image with this, but then I wasn't sure if it was an improvement. California is a little more subdued, with slightly improved contrast, and M45 is a little more prominent against the background stars, which I think were a tad bloated in the previous version. The stars seem more prominent in Taurus than they do in Perseus for some reason.

Subtle difference, and probably not worth worrying about. Anyway - last version :)

Nikon D70 modded, 55-200 Nikkor at 78mm, f4.5, 1600iso, Baader Neodymium filter.
30 x 4 min, unguided EQ5
Darks, flats and bias
