Astropicture of the Seven Sisters or the Pleiades (Messier M45) can be fount in the constellation Taurus. The open star cluster is located at a distance of 444 light years from Earth.

The picture is the result of a long exposure of 40 minutes. It's a combination of ISO800, ISO3200 and ISO6400 with exposure each time 30s. Pictures are converted to DNG and stacked using DeepSkyStacker; final editing using CS4 16bits and result below is Jpeg.
The green line is probably an airplane.
