Description

The seven sisters, the daughters of Atlas.  These beautiful blue stars light up the winter sky.  Catching the reflection nebula without the bright stars blowing out the picture is the challenge.  I did 300 seconds, but will try reshooting this with a shorter exposures and see if I can still catch the details of the nebula.
