Description

Took this image of the Pleiades in the early morning hours as it was rising in the east. ,the light shining through the open branches near the base of the tree, is not the sun, but light from the waning crescent moon. Used my Unmodified Canon Rebel SL2 to shoot this 45 second image at ISO 400 with a Rokinon wide angle lens set at F/4. This is a RAW image with the white balance set to Tungsten.
