M45: The Pleiades

Electrifying serenity. Gotta love it. Not bad for a mere 48mins' exposure a couple of nights ago.

The Pleiades
==========

A year after my first wide-field capture of the Pleiades, I revisited M45 with a tighter composition to reveal more of its hidden structure.

This close-up view brings out the delicate blue wisps of the reflection nebula—filaments, arcs, and soft dust clouds shaped by the hot young stars of the cluster.

With deeper integration and refined processing, this new image highlights just how intricate and dynamic the Pleiades truly are.

Happy Space Science Saturday! Did you know that the Pleiades, seen in this image, is also known as the Seven Sisters or Messier 45? The cluster is estimated to be 150 million years old, with its brightest stars forming within the last 100 million years. The Pleiades are visible to the naked eye, as they are one of the clusters nearest to Earth., and can be seen from most parts of the world, except the Arctic Circle.

This image taken by holding a mobile 'phone camera to a telescope eyepiece shows the Moon and brightest stars in the Pleiades. It was, however, taken through thin high cloud which worsened the glare from the Moon.

Popular astronomy: the Moon will appear very close to the Pleiades star cluster in the sky tonight. They will actually be closest around 20 hours UTC, in the mid/late evening European time.

Binoculars may help in seeing the Pleiades given the brightness of the Moon.

Popular astronomy: the Moon will appear very close to the Pleiades star cluster in the sky tonight. They will actually be closest around 14 hours UTC.

From Europe, the Moon Pleiades will appear closer soon after dusk than later in the night. Binoculars will probably be needed to see the Pleiades given the brightness of the Moon.

Astrophoto: Pleiades – Messier 45 – 12/21 https://astrocamp.eu/en/astrophoto-pleiades-messier-45-12-21/ I found unused M45 data while organizing my astrophoto data. The Pleiades data is from 2021, the telescope already sold and the picture reprocessed after a single month due to a new plugin. … #M45 #Messier45 #Pleiades #clearskies
