The Pleiades
==========
A year after my first wide-field capture of the Pleiades, I revisited M45 with a tighter composition to reveal more of its hidden structure.
This close-up view brings out the delicate blue wisps of the reflection nebula—filaments, arcs, and soft dust clouds shaped by the hot young stars of the cluster.
With deeper integration and refined processing, this new image highlights just how intricate and dynamic the Pleiades truly are.
