Takahashi Epsilon 130 image with a Nikon D100 digital
camera. Two minute exposure.
Dream Machine image showing the region around Alcyone.
Canon 20 Da digital camera image with 200 mm f/4.5 lens.
Five-minute exposure. |
The CCD image from
the 24-inch telescope provides a very limited view of
the Pleiades. The Pleiades are best shown with
wide-field photography such as the images with the Nikon
and Canon digital cameras.
This film image was obtained with the then Grassland
five-inch f/5 finder as part of the Photographic Messier Marathon.
