The Hyades, Waxing Crescent & the Pleiades

[orion25]

I couldn't resist this one-off shot of the Hyades, waxing crescent moon and the Pleiades, a single 3 second exposure at f5.6. I superimposed a shorter exposure image of the moon so that you can see some earthshine. Here's the result:

 

It was a beautiful sight!

Nice composition.

My image from last year on March 22 was even better in my opinion:

No superimposed image of the moon and less star motion (especially on the Pleiades).
