Description

In this image I tried to show the dust around the Pleiades with a fairly long integration taken in Bortle 5 and Bortle 4 skies.

The Pleiades, also known as M 45, are an open star cluster in the constellation of Taurus, located at about 440 light years from Earth. In this region of the sky there are reflection nebulae illuminated by the cluster's stars, which are moving through dust clouds.
