Pleiades Star Cluster

Lights from ... brightest open cluster of the sky (Messier 45)

 Very excited that I finally had time this month to go outside to do astrophotography!

This picture was taken with a Canon 600D at prime focus of a 8" newtonian telescope.
49 frames of 60 seconds each were necessary to obtain this outcome.
I wish I could capture longer this deep sky object but I was disturbed by fog...

49 x 60 seconds at ISO 1600
800 mm + cropped picture
