Description

The well known cluster M45, aka. The Pleiades, aka. The Sever Sisters.  I'm in astrophotography for 2 years now and it was the first time I turn my telescope towards them.  I had the chance to go to a dark site (dark for Belgium ^^) at the observatory of La Fosse near Manhay in Belgium.  

The belgian wether being what it is, the trip was totally improvised within a few hours and I arrived on site not know what I was going to shoot.  Given that fact, I'm quite happy with that result.  There is most certainly a better possible framing but it turned out good enough for me.
