Description

Mars visiting the Pleiades is a magnificent sight even with the naked eye. Through a telescope it only gets better.

fun fact:

In greek mythology Mars/Ares actually had an affair with one of the seven sisters (Sterope) once and even got a child with her. Makes me wondering if he is just visiting to say hi or planning on refreshing the love
