Description

The Pleiades is another favorite of mine. This is the first time I have had the opportunity to image it with my CCD camera. I have shot it over the years with my modified Canon. This one night LRGB image picked up much more of the reddish blush that is off to the side of Merope. I worked hard to try and get as much detail as i could in the brushy areas of gas around the bright stars.
