Description

A view of the Pleiades (Messier-45) with the surrounding nebulae. A mosaic of two panels. They are usually photographed with the nebulae surrounding the main stars. But a deeper exposure reveals that the (faint) nebulosity extends further, possibly as far as the California Nebula (NGC1499) and also in the direction of the Hyades.
