Pleiades and California Nebulae - from Wiruna

Here is another shot I have been working on.

Showing both the Pleiades and California Nebulae and how close they are together in the sky. Really been enjoying shooting some of these nice northern objects. There is just so much dust out there.

When I first started processing this one I thought there was something wrong with the image when I saw the dust line running vertically through the middle of the image. Turns out its the Perseus Molecular Cloud.

This image was taken at only 116mm to frame both the Pleiades and California Nebulae in the shot nicely. Its also only 1hr and 15mins of data, again, dawn stopped me getting more data on this one. Shot using my usual set up.

Higher res version can be found here.

I also noticed that there is a happy clown in the image! Can you see it?

Thanks for looking,

Jason
