Venus and the Pleiades

            A single 90-second exposure of planet Venus outshining the open cluster of new stars, the Pleiades. 

Camera and lens were attached to a SkyWatcher EQ6-R to allow for a 90-second exposure and an f-stop of 5/6 was used to get the diffraction spikes around Venus. Diffraction spikes in the Pleiades added with Astronomy Tools Action set to help them stand out a bit more to the viewer.
