Question Mark Constellation?? Leo??

hey nice shot, i'm pretty new to this but what you have there is M45, the Pleiades. it's an open star cluster in the constellation of Taurus, and nice & visible to the naked eye - at least where i live, it's always one of the first things i look out for at night :)

cheers, rich

Thanks so much! I'm new at all this too. Do you know what the bright dot is directly under the M45?

sure, no problem! it's called Aldebaran, another bright star in the same constellation of Taurus.

You're awesome! Thanks!
