Description

A perennial favorite, this rendition of the Pleiades Group brings out the beautiful wispy filaments of the Merope Nebula. Also known as the Seven Sisters. This is a full color LRGB photo, the blue is a result of the reflection nebula diffracting the starlight (like what makes the sky blue). Actual astrophotograph.

Thanks. Not quite, but I use observatory based telescopes- up to 24" in New Mexico and Australia.They have highly sensitive 'cameras' - CCD arrays. Exposure time can run hours, but it is best to add up (stack) shorter exposures. I control the telescopes from my computer and then download the resulting files - next comes a lot of post processing to get it right, kinda like HDR.
