Description

This photo of the Pleiades open star cluster was captured over a few nights last fall. Although this is considered a relatively easy target to capture (a beginner object), I wasn’t sure how this image would come out. To my surprise, and thanks to a bortle class 4 sky, I was able to capture the star cluster as well as the interstellar dust (grayish brown) around it.
