Pleiades and Orion.




Still sicker than a dog eating grass,but took the Doc advise to get outside for a little bit...So I thought ok why not get pictures of the Pleiades and the Great Nebula Orion....
First off Pictures of the Pleiades or M45...First one is not zoomed in the second is zoomed in...Pleiades AKA the seven sisters is a open an clusters of stars..This open end clusters is still rather young,only 50 millions yrs old....

The Great Nebula Orion or M42 is found in Orion's sword,this Nebula is about 30 light yrs across and it's about 1500 light yrs away from Earth.....Both of these seem to be the most photographed areas of the sky...
