andyc277 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I had a look at Pleiades last night but one thing that i could be sure of:Am i right in thinking that Pleiades/Seven Sisters is visible with the naked eye slightly west of Jupiter (10pm last night)?

Nexus 6 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 It sure is Andy, have you downloaded Stellarium?, if you set it to your location it will be able to confirm what you may see as time goes by night by night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malc-c Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Slightly east of Jupiter, (ie to the left as looking at it !) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Sounds like the right spot to me. Take a look at them through binoculars - the "family" grows substantially !. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasdav Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I definitely agree with John, try binoculars - the Pleiades are a really beautiful sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pug Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Agree with both of the above, the pleiades through bins is one of my favourite sights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyc277 Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 Got a small scope and had a look through 20mm ep and it was awesome. Ive got Stellarium but i was escaping a cackling group of women with wine and candles so it was just me and the scope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
