Description

Composite of Venus nearing the Seven Sisters merged with nebulosity imaged with the same camera and lens earlier in the year. Shot with a modded Canon 600D and Rokinon 135mm f/2 stopped down to f/2.4. The image with Venus and the starfield included 127 20-second subframes at ISO400. Then I merged it with a stack of 60 1-minute images of M45 with the stars removed via Starnet++. Finished in GIMP.
