Venus and the Pleiades

[eshy76]

Hi everyone,

Bit of fun with brilliant Venus cosying up to M45.

Challenging capture as the Western sky is behind my house, so I set up the Skyguider Pro in an upstairs bedroom, very roughly polar aligned using a compass and eyeballing elevation of 51 degrees as best I could. Shooting into streetlights for good measure, forcing me to shoot at f/5.6.

Nice old school shoot - Skyguider Pro, Sony a6500 DSLR, Samyang 135mm lens, intervalometer. Had to cull about 40% of subs in the end due to field rotation (intra-shot!) and had to crop out a major reflection artifact.

I am pretty happy with the end result given the setup!

Thanks for looking!
