Venus Visits The Pleiades

Had to be quick to capture the beautiful sight of a blazing Venus paying a close visit to the Pleiades star cluster this evening.

 

Thick cloud invaded shortly after this image was taken as the sky was beginning to darken. Neighbour's tree also a problem!

 

Imaged with a Nikon D5300 and a Skywatcher ED72 refractor on an EQ6 pro mount. A single 20" image unguided.
