Description

I wanted to see how well the Tamron 150-600mm zoom objective would perform in astrophotography. I set it to 520mm and took this image of the Pléiades with my standard Nikon 7100 body. Stars are for from round! ... but still a decent image on screen. Nevertheless, UGC 2838 (top/center) is still distinguishable from the neighboring stars.
