When I was a little tacker about 8 or 9 y/o, I enjoyed looking out at the stars from my bedroom window.
One night my Mum joined me, and I remember her pointing out the Pleiades and telling me the story about how big bad ol' Orion would never catch those ladies.
I always liked that story
and this has always been my favourite constellation.
Sadly, Mum passed away peacefully a few weeks back, after a fine innings at 93, so this one's for her.
Taken under dark skies at VicSouth, near Nhill in far west Vic.
Not the easiest of nights chasing some rare PA & Balance issues, so only managed 4 hours on this between 1-5am.
Probably needs double that and LRGB is not my usual deal, so this was a fun processing adventure as well.
Big noisy one here
