The Moon and Pleiades

24T07538 Moon and Pleiades.jpg
Last night the Moon was very close to the Pleiades. I managed to photograph them through a brief gap in the clouds (although it was still a little hazy). I used a short exposure on the moon and then a much longer one for the stars, then combined them as layers. You will need to click on the image to see the stars clearly.

Nice one Pik.

I saw that in Stellarium last night while setting up for the Lunar X. I shot the Moon through the clouds but the Pleiades were not visible.
