The Pleiades

Here is my latest version of the stunning Pleiades Star Cluster in the constellation Taurus.

 

This is a spectacular deep-sky target to photograph using ANY camera. To achieve a result like this, I recommend escaping the perpetual glare of the city to a dark sky spot.

 

While I recently captured the Pleiades using a new telescope from the backyard - THIS version was taken back in 2021 using a smaller version of that scope (RedCat 71).

 

The image includes 4.5 hours of total exposure time (88 x 3-minutes) using a dedicated astronomy camera from a dark sky (Bortle 3) location.
