Description

M45 - The Pleiades 

Yellow River Marsh Aquatic Preserve State Park - Milton, FL 

The two little steaks just below and around Atlas and Pleione (the two brightest stars on the bottom) are, from what I can tell, asteroids discovered early in the 20th century: 793 Arizona (the faint one) and 796 Sarita (the bright one). If you look close enough, you’ll see a second streak a little farther to the lower right. The data was taken on two different nights so, you can make out the path of movement of the brighter one over a couple of days.
