Ya a simple vista saltan a la vista dos objetos, dos nebulosas: una de emisión y otra de reflexión.
Las Pléyades (M45) conforman un cúmulo abierto que puede ser fácilmente visto en la constelación de Tauro. Está atravesando una zona de polvo que refleja su luz azulada.
Arriba a la izquierda destaca la nebulosa California, se trata de una nebulosa de emisión bastante tenue vista desde la Tierra a 1000 años luz de nuestro sistema.
También se pueden observar algunas nubes moleculares como Barnard 3 y Barnard 4.

A plane just happened to cross my lens on the same angle as the Milky Way. This was shot with my 50mm f/1.8 lens so I guess I struck it lucky aiming in the exact spot!

Last spring and early summer the robins built a nest on top of this A/C unit. We had to do something to stop them since we needed to use the unit and I didn't want to harm the babies so Craig, our Handyman put a screen above the unit and now there isn't enough room for any bird to get in there. We have these screens on the other A/C units so this was the last one. I'm happy!
Starting with "Bright Green Under" and a cube in a corner of a field...
When I took the shot I had hunted in vain for any information sign...so hence the internet search as I posted...
I wasn't very successful to start...
And then I remembered Geograph m.geograph.org.uk "The Geograph® Britain and Ireland project aims to collect geographically representative photographs and information for every square kilometre of Great Britain and Ireland."
So I checked our GPS route to work out which grid square I thought it was in..
Then I found the advanced search on Geograph - that took a few attempts so I have saved the link here www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?form=text
Then I looked for images within 1 km of SK1664 (the grid reference) as it was on an edge.
I spoted a shot - and it gave me the extra word of Limestone and and the idea to include Cales Farm in the search (Neil had put in grid square SK1663 www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3596177
I then headed back to Uncle Google search with "bright under green limestone cales farm"
Bingo!

Sites of Meaning was a millennium project of Middleton and Smerrill in the Derbyshire Peak. It marks the seventeen entrances to its parish with boundary stones each inscribed with a text chosen by members of the parish.
So hopefully if we trip over any of the other 16 stones I'll remember where to look.
If you've got this far, I was rather chuffed I found the information and hence the rather laboured notes above on how I got there. Now, was I meant to be doing anything else this morning, I think the "to do" list will win again today!
No more pinholes but this developer is really black in the shadows. Agitation is every 15 sec. Might try once every minute next time to reduce the contrast.
