What just under Venus?

[Thorney]

Just went to look at Venus and as I was lining the finder scope up I seen a load of stars together just under Venus.

I can't see them with the naked eye and when I search round them there's not much is to see. Looks really nice whatever it is.

Most likely your seeing Pleiades.

the finder scope view upside down as pleades is above venus according to stellarium [too cloudy here to look]

[Tim]

Yes, the best known cluster in the sky! M45, Or the Seven Sisters, or the Pleiades.

[Thorney]

Ah yes forgot that about the finder scope.

Cheers for that guys. I'll try and keep track of this one. Looks awesome.
