Description

I'm fascinated by technology, and what is achievable with small telescopes, digital cameras, and time. This image of the Pleiades is only minimally processed (2 rounds of curves and levels in Photoshop); and what I love about it is that you can see the cluster, as well as significant nebulosity; but this nebulosity is significantly dimmer than the member stars - not over exposed/blown out and appearing to warp their shape. Less is more sometimes, and this little Zenithstar 61 is doing a nice job from my light-polluted back yard.
