The Pleiades j



Constellation: Taurus.
Best Seen: Winter.
Telescopic Appearance: Otherwise known as the 'Seven Sisters' this star cluster can be seen with the naked eye from the city on a dark night. The blue reflection nebula, known as the Merope nebula, has always eluded me when viewed through the telescope!
Photo Details: A single, hour long shot on hypered Kodak Panther P1600 slide film, taken with a 500mm f/8 lens, piggybacked on the SCT.
