Description

I've taken this image in conjunction with another imaging project. For some background and context, let I'd like to refer to it's sister project Messier 33, Triangulum Galaxy.
The Plejades, as a common target for beginners, is already in my gallery (Messier 45, The Plejades). Since it's a reflection nebula, the effects of a dedicated camera compared to a stock DSLR is not as pronounced as it is with other targets. However, my second visit reveals more depth and detail, which is the result of more experience and better technique.

Enjoy and feel free to comment.
