This is a photo I took of the Pleiades Star Cluster (M45) in Taurus, at about 11:00 pm EST on Feb. 2, 2003.

Photo taken with my Orion StarMax 102mm Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope (1300mm focal length or f/12.7) on an EQ-2 equatorial mount with motor drive, with a Cannon AE-1 mounted directly to the telescope using 35 mm, 400 speed print film. 10 second exposure. Field is about 1.5 deg wide.

Cursor over the bright stars to see their names and numbers.
