Description

The California Nebula and the Pleiades are the most present objects in this picture. But there is one more thing that I think is at least as cool as the other targets. It is a molecular cloud in the same named constellation of Taurus. The star-forming region is -according to Wikipedia- the nearest of it‘s kind to earth.

This was the first shot I‘ve taken with my new Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM (nifty fifty). It‘s clear that a lens for about 120€ is not a killer-thing but for this price I can‘t really complain.
