The Pleiades ✨ My latest picture of the 'seven sisters' includes almost 5 hours of exposure time through my telescope. This stunning deep-sky object is rising higher into the eastern sky each night and is immediately recognizable... If you can escape the perpetual glare of the city, of course. It's one of the best astrophotography targets in the sky - and you can start capturing it this month! Photo Details: 88 x 3 minutes (4.5 hours total exposure) Stacked in DSS, Processed in PS Camera: bit.ly/3zuuEvO Telescope: bit.ly/3TSkGvG Mount: bit.ly/437Q7E8 Filter: None! Processing Guide: astrobackyard.com/image-processi… (updates coming this week!) Captured November 2021 from a Bortle 3 location.
