The Pleiades, also known as the Seven Sisters and Messier 45, are an open star cluster containing middle-aged, hot B-type stars in the north-west of the constellation Taurus. It is among the star clusters nearest to Earth, it is the nearest Messier object to Earth, and is the cluster most obvious to the naked eye in the night sky.
The cluster is dominated by hot blue and luminous stars that have formed within the last 100 million years. Reflection nebulae around the brightest stars were once thought to be left over material from the formation of the cluster, but are now considered likely to be an unrelated dust cloud in the interstellar medium through which the stars are currently passing.

My first image through my new telescope, a Skywatcher Skymax-127 Synscan. This was taken prime, with no barlow at all, just the telescope and a nikon D300, no cropping either, this is exactly how much of the camera's frame was filled up. I did have a go at taking one with the 2x barlow in there, but there was just too much movement, and I need more practice with the focusing (or getting a decent focus cable for the telescope).
Anyway, i'm loving the result, the level of detail is immense, although I fear i'm going to have to get a CCD for the telescope, i think the d300 is just a touch too heavy.
Also looks like i need to re-calibrate my monitor after installing windows 7, seems a lot darker after upload than on my screen.

Hey folks!
Yesterday was such a clear sky that I decided to do some startrails. Unfortunately the Milky Way isn't out at the moment so I won't be able to capture it.
Have a nice weekend!
