Description

The transit of Venus over the Pleiades on April 2nd and 4th 2020. Unfortunately the weather did not allow me to get the image on April 3rd. We will try again in 8 years, when the transit will be even more central.

In the second version (B) I superimposed two shots at an earlier and deeper picture of the Pleiades.
