The Heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the
work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. |
| Psalm 19:1-2 |
M45 by John Steidler

"The Pleiades" - M45 This cluster, in the constellation of Taurus, is often mistaken for the Little Dipper, Ursa Minor. It lies at a distance of about 380 lightyears. M45 was first mentioned by Hesiod between 1000 and 700 B.C and contains mostly very hot B-type stars. This beautiful shot was taken by John using a Canon 10D at ISO 800, 20 shots at 30 seconds each.
