Another nighttime observation [OC]
It's been a while since my last one, and this one isn't as impressive, buuuut: I've been getting into astronomy a lot more, so enjoy this photo of the Pleiades taking from my very own balcony :p

Cool pic! The Pleiades have to be my favorite constellation, they’re significant in so many cultures.
The first time I saw them I was completely mesmerised. I mainly use binoculars, and it was when I started with astronomy. I was so shocked I was able to just... See this, haha. Same feeling I got when I saw the Galilean moons for the first time.
technically an asterism not a constellation, since it is part of Taurus. you can also refer it as a open cluster or stellar nursery
Beautiful.
