Description

I have captured the open star cluster Pleiades also known as Seven Sisters (M45). It contains about 1000 stars gathered by the force of gravity. I have captured this in two consecutive nights of 18 and 19 February 2024. As M45 sets around midnight now, also clouds roll on every now and then I could only gather little less than 5 hours of images in 2 nights. I have used Celestron Nexstar Evolution 9.25" SCT with Hyperstar V4 and Antlia Triband filter. Also used ZWO ASI2600MC Pro camera.
