Description

Version "D" adds 45 mins more of data and is a fun reprocess using CFA drizzle which resulted in a much better image. I plan to add four more hours of data to this but will publish that separately.

The Pleiades Star Cluster from Harrington Beach State Park outside of Milwaukee.

At full res, to the left of Merope and on to the left of the image, two small galaxies can be seen.
