[QUOTE="Dawg Pics, post: 606616, member: 26505"] #47/365 "The Hyades" or "The Face of Taurus" Between "Orion" and "The Pleiades" lies a red star called, "Aldebaran." In light polluted skies without dark adaptation, Aldebaran is obvious, but after a few minutes of dark adaptation, the other stars start to appear in the form of a triangle. This is an open star cluster that forms the face of Taurus. There is another triangle that is called, well, "Triangulum." This ain't it. This image is dim, but it is darn close to what I can see after being outside for a while. I had to use Aldebaran as a guide, because I couldn't really see the other stars that make up the cluster in my view finder. This was hand-held because I didn't have the energy to try to work with my tripod on this. Maybe on another night when seeing is better. And, no, I can't see the lines in the sky.:rolleyes: [ATTACH=CONFIG]245207._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
