The Pleiades and constellation of Perseus rising above the mountains at Waterton Lakes National Park, Aug 31, 2013. Capella is the bright star just over the ridge line. M33, M34, the Double Cluster are also visible at right. And the California Nebula, NCG 1499, below. A faint aurora adds the green and magenta tints. This is a stack of 4 x 3 minute exposures at f/2.8 with the 24mm lens and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 1600.
The Pleiades star cluster, Messier 45, amid the faint and dusty nebulosity that surrounds it. The stars of the Pleiades are passing through the dust clouds in Taurus and are lighting them up as examples of reflection nebulas. This is a stack of 8 x 8-minute exposures at ISO 400 with the Canon EOS Ra on the SharpStar HNT150 Hyperbolic Newtonian astrograph at f/2.8. Flat-fielded in PixInsight using T-shirt flats, and developed in Photoshop. Taken from home January 27, 2020.
The Pleaides (the Seven Sisters) star cluster, and the stars of late autumn and winter rising over Elbow Falls in Kananaskis Country in Alberta, on a moonlit night, with a waxing gibbous Moon providing the illumination. This is a 20-second exposure at f/2.8 with the 24mm lens and Nikon D750 at ISO 1250. A brief wash of LED light painted the foreground water.
