About	Using my 200mm lens mounted on an equatorial mount guided by Ivo Leupi, this 5 minutes exposure at ISO 400 shows the famous Pleiades star cluster (also known as the Seven Sisters or Messier #45). This is a beautiful sight to visit in binoculars or small telescopes this fall and winter. These bright young stars are also envelopped in a delicate nebulosity.

Thanks Dave! Welcome back!

Thanks Annemette! If you can do long time exposures (several seconds) with your camera, set it to a higher ISO, and if you have a tripod, try to experiment with night sky photos.

You might be surprised at what you can capture (a lot more than what the eye alone can see) even without a telescope.

Thank you very much Ali!

Just wonderful! Unfortunately I can´t mount my camera on my telescope, so special photos like this is out of the question. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Best wishes
