Young Stars

: Young Stars; Bright young stars of the Pleiades. You can see the blue nebula surounding them. I like the way they flare due to the secondary mirror spider vanes. The conditions were less than perfect, but I liked this shot. Thanks for looking.

Thanks everyone! I sure am having fun learning how to use the new scope and getting a few shots through it. I've wanted a decent telescope for most of my adult life. It is nice to finally get to a place that I could get one, isn't plastic money great :-). The scope actually isn't the pricey part (Reflectors are reasonable), it is the motorized mount. The one I have is mid range, I wanted a beefy one that would handle the camera attached to it. So far, I'm very happy with the set up. I am looking forward to imaging the moon to see how it does. It isn't going to be good for planetary work, but that's OK. I'm more interested in the dim deep space suff. It is like having a whole new world to explore and photograph. Now, all I have to do is find the time and the right weather to use it! It seems the only time the sky clears is when I'm at work! Thanks again for the kind words all. Don

This is such a neat image Don. One of the nicest quietest times one could spend, is gazing at the stars. I love this so much, even if (excuse the pun!) you're description is way over my head!!

Hi Don, Great photo of the stars of the Pleiades. The flares are really cool, it looks like a star gate for a space ship lol..
