The Pleiades

The Pleiades, originally uploaded by ThinkingCamera.

At last, a recognisable astrophoto!
The exposure is too short to capture any of the nebulosity, but stars are there down to about 9th magnitude. I took care to focus well – very hard with the scope’s built in focus – which is very coarse.
The neighbour’s Christmas lights, and a dew-filled evening made it hard to get this, but I am pleased with it.
