Greetings and Salutations fellow stargazers!
I was a bit worried that I wouldn't be able to present this evening's night sky photographic presentation because of the frequent spring showers and cloudy skies that bless South Carolina this time of year.
In fact, it did rain earlier in the day, but thankfully cleared up by mid-afternoon and giving us some blessedly clear evening skies so that I was able to capture a few beautiful shots of our lovely Luna in her Crescent Moon form sharing the heavens with the equally stunning "Seven Sisters" of the Pleiades Star Cluster.
The Pleiades Star Cluster (also known as the "Seven Sisters" or Messier 45) is an open star cluster containing middle-aged, hot B-type blue-white stars to the north-west of the constellation Taurus. The beautiful stars of the Pleiades are among the nearest star clusters to Earth located at a distance of about 444 light-years (or 136.1 parsecs) from our Sun.
