Description
The sky cleared for a few minutes tonight, so I grabed my gear and headed to the observatory. I set up and started taking 3 minute exposures of the Pleiades. 36 minutes later, the clouds moved in. Here is the results of tonight's adventure. Also, I viewed the golf club and ball. There are several stars of similar brightness forming a club, with the last two being a pair that lie to one side of NGC 752. This makes ngc 752 a big golf ball cluster. Really cool looking. Look for it to the left of the Triangulum.

Thank you for sharing this - I was lucky enough to see them with my naked eyes once and I will never forget that. Being nearsighted it isn't often I get to really enjoy the stars.

Wow, a great many stars here; you are very lucky with your light pollution. As beginner, this is one of the objects I can actually recognise in the sky! I can't wait to get my 600mm canon lens on the Sisters...
