Description

The beautiful star cluster called the Pleiades. Image taken on a Sunday evening in a brief window of clear weather. Almost 450 light-years away, this grouping of young stars is bathed in a sea of dusty- gas and is better known as the Seven Sisters. The image is comprised of an integration of a series of two minute exposures over a period of one hour. Photographed with my RASA 8-inch telescope / ASI294 camera combo.
