Description

Today at dawn, as I was ending my imaging session from last night, I was happy to see again the "Seven Sisters" high in the sky. Taurus is back, and the Pleiades are always among my favorites. One of them in particular is beautiful Merope. So, I let the equipment run for another 1.2 hours to capture Merope at dawn. The sky was still crystal clean and dark enough. This was my bold shot after a long imaging session (yet to be processed). I will go back to the Pleiades later in the Fall,  this is just a preamble.
