Description

Also known as The Seven Sisters, this target is quite close to us in comparison to most of the other targets that are posted on Astrobin.
At a distance of 444 light years, these hot blue bright stars are visible with the naked eye.
I imaged over 2 nights in November 2022 using 60sec and 120sec subs with the old EQR Pro mount.
Reprocessed in January 2024 and quite a big improvement on last year's effort.
