The Pleiades, M45, Krittika, Subaru or the Seven Sisters, call it what you want but this is one of the most spectacular sights in the winter skies. Though the views of M45 through a telescope or binoculars at low powers are incredulous, experiencing the grandeur of the Merope Nebula, i.e., the space cloud around the sisters, isn't possible without long exposure photography.
This is my second attempt at the Pleiades star cluster and Merope Nebula collected on 2/24/2022 after losing one complete night to equipment failure.
Equipment:
Camera - Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II
Lens - Rokinon 135mm F2
Mount - Skywatcher Star Adventurer
