Description

The frame centers on a seemingly empty area in space, if looked at a star chart - but the huge Taurus molecular cloud contains a wealth of hardly known objects, like IC360 in center, IC348 on the right top, vdB29 on the left edge, and many more like NGC1514 a planetary nebula, and of course the Plejades which in this case are a little outshined by the dust clouds.
