Object: M 45 –, The Pleijades
Object Type: Open Cluster
Berlin, Germany on Jan, 26th, 2012
Media: pencil on white paper, inverted
I have taken this sketch during a very cold night with about -20°C. Due to the coldness the sky over the city of Berlin has been clear and transparent.
As a scope I have used my tiny newly built 60/150mm-Refractor with a 12.5 mm Ploessl-eyepiece. The magnification has been about 12x and so I have been able to get the whole object with one view.
Torsten,
Very fine capture of the open cluster M 45.
I enjoy seeing way over in the western sky in winter
signaling that spring will be here soon.
Frank 🙂
