Seven Sisters and Old Moon in New Moon's Arms 04/2005 - Eric Walker

I was trying to take an image of the excellent Earthshine that was on display tonight and when I transferred the image on to my PC I was pleasantly surprised that the Seven Sisters had paid a visit. The Plaeides was only just over 2° from the beautiful crescent Moon. Image was taken at 21:00h UT (22:00h BST) using a Nikon Coolpix 5700 at ISO 400, 1sec, f/4.2, fl= 71.2mm I took the opportunity of naming the sisters, and their parents, on an accompanying image on my website (I can never remember their names off the top of my head!)
