Moon & Pleiades
========================

On April 1st, 2025, between 20:45 and 23:45 (UTC), our moon passed in front of the Pleiades. Of course, our skies were completely cloudy, so I wasn’t able to capture the actual event, but due to the brightness of the moon compared to M45, creating a nice capture would have been complicated anyway.

Therefore, I used archive material (my M45 capture from November 2024 and the Moon from January 2022), to create an artistic composition of the event.

Scope: Askar 103APO
Lens: Askar 0.6x Reducer
Camera: Canon EOS 6Da
Filter: Antlia TriBand RGB Ultra
Mount: Skywatcher AZ-EQ5 GT
Guiding: Svbony SV165 Guide Scope with ZWO ASI 224MC
Controller: ZWO ASIAir Pro

Integration time: 6hrs 20min
