Description

California to Pleiades in Perseus - Taurus Constellations!  This was shot on one my Marathon, TX trips couple of years ago using my Sony A7R2/Sony 85mm F1.8 on Star Adventurer mount (The first and only time I used the mount!) . This is made up of 60x2 min shots.

The place is super dark (and super cold that night) and I wasnt even sure I did Polar alignment correctly (because it is so full of stars as soon as it gets dark making identifying Polaris hard - Esp. someone like me who has only used robotic mounts with platesolving). But I did manage to set it up and get usable data!

You can see California nebula on the bottom left (The red bit) and blue, glittering M45(Pleiades) on the right. But there are lot of Barnard (Dark nebulae objects) .. including little eagle head in between, NGC1333 and few other goodies.
Since my camera is not sensitive beyond visible range (due to IR cut filter, a lot of emission objects are not well resolved)
