M45
The Pleiades, also known as the Seven Sisters and Messier 45, are an open star cluster containing middle-aged, hot B-type stars located in the constellation of Taurus. It is among the nearest star clusters to Earth and is the cluster most obvious to the naked eye in the night sky.
The cluster is dominated by got blue and luminous stars that have formed within the last 100 million years. Reflection nebulae around the brightest stars were once thought to be left over material from the formation of the cluster, but are now considered likely to be an unrelated dust cloud in the interstellar medium through which the stars are currently passing.
Taken a year after my first attempt ( flic.kr/p/2e9R1Dq ) with some equipment and knowledge upgrades, I'm happy with the progress. This cluster is simple elegance in my eye and will never get old.
A total of 3.5 hours of exposure time using 140 90 second exposures.
