Description

The Pleiades (Seven Sisters/Messier 45) seemed to be a good fit for the frame of view of the small refractor I have in Borrego Springs, so I took a stab at it. I thought some spikes would be nice on the largest stars, so I threw a few in. Refractors do not naturally produce those spikes.
