The Jewel of Taurus
Here's an image I've built from data I've acquired of this area over the years.
Visible naked eye even from light-polluted cities, the Pleiades is the brightest and most popular object in the constellation Taurus. Here, we manage to see, not just the "seven sisters" but also a huge and intricate web of interstellar clouds known as the Taurus Molecular Cloud. This is where stars are born. Within the TMC lays in fact the nearest large star formation region to us.
Starting in 2010, I've photographed the area around Pleiades all the way to the California nebula, then to the Hyades, then down into the TMC and last year I've got it in a field that reached all the way to Simeis 147 and the Flame Star nebulae. Still, I've always wanted to do a very wide field where the Pleiades were still the one and only main subject. At least for now, I think this is it! I hope you like it. Shares welcome, as always, thanks!!
