- Description: The Pleiades, Seven Sisters, Messier 45 or Subaru - a bright open cluster embedded in
reflection nebula in Taurus. An easy naked eye cluster in the winter sky but observing the nebulosity
takes a good eye and dark skies. This version of M45 I aimed for more of the background nebulosity with a
wider field including some faint background nebulosity.
