Messier 45, the Pleiades
Messier 45, the Pleiades by Brian Kimball, Longmont Astronomical Society. Familar to night sky observers since ancient times, the Pleiades or Seven Sisters is a beautiful object to view in binoculars and wide field telescopes on a clear, dark night with transparent skies. Nebulosity can be seen around the brighter stars, Merope in particular. Light from the the bright bluish stars is reflected from an unrelated dust cloud that the cluster is passing nearby.
