Venus and The Pleiades 4/01/20

[orion25]

Venus has been approaching The Pleiades region and will appear to pass directly in front of the open star cluster over the next few nights. Here is a one-off shot I took of Venus beneath The Pleiades last evening (4/01) with my Nikon D3200 with zoom lens (at 300x):

Clear skies!

Thanks, Craig! By Friday night, Venus should be right in the middle of The Pleiades. I plan to get a shot
