Mars and the Pleiades
Click the image for the full sized version (people with older screens will see just a couple of white dots in the Thumbnail). Mars is close to the Pleiades cluster between now and February 20. This is a rather beautiful sight, so go out and have a look in the early evening, before they set. The combination looks pretty good in binoculars too. The image is a stack of 3 in the Gimp, with dark frames subtracted individually (it was going to be a stack of 4, but one image was unfocused for some reason. I think I'm getting the hang of stacking now.# posted by Ian Musgrave @ 11:07 pm
