On my way back to Colorado and beyond for fall color I knew I had a night or two where I could do some Deep Space Astro photography. It wasn't a huge window since the moon was at 2/3rds to 3/4 full. So the sky at night didn't get dark enough until about 1am on this night and by 5am it was starting to get bright again. But those 4 hours I really made the most of it.
This is the Pleiades Star Cluster. It's actually one that I thought was too boring last winter since it didn't have any red or yellow colors in it and it was just blue. But it's grown on me over the last 8 months, so I knew when I got a chance to shoot DSO again, it was going to be on my list.
So from the Mojave desert, here is Pleiades.
All comments are welcome,
