Comet Lemmon and the open cluster Plejades

Another session with clouds and mist. I managed to see Comet Lemmon again between clouds and it was a beautiful view through the binoculars. Behind me the open cluster M45, Plejades, the Seven Sisters was a beautiful sight. At a distance of about 444 light-years, it is among the nearest star clusters to Earth and the nearest Messier object to Earth, being the most obvious star cluster to the naked eye in the night sky

Nebulosity around the bright star Merope in the open cluster M45, Plejades. You can also see the little gascloud IC349 just below the star. Photo taken with Celestron Nexstar 11 GPS @ 2800mm and Canon 600D.
