Description

The Pleiades are a very prominent constellation in the autumn/winter sky here in Europe. Capturing this constellation is not easy, as the bright main stars strongly outshine the reflection nebula. During post-processing I struggled with ugly color fringes around the brightest stars. These comes most likely from a reflection between the clip filter and the camera sensor. So, the Hutech filter I have to sent back after a few further shots.  

Maybe one of you has already made similar experiences and has here still an explaination of the problem for me?

Otherwise, I hope you like the picture.
