Here's our latest image of the Pleiades. We didn't capture as much data as I would have liked, but we spent most of the fall photographing the Andromeda Galaxy.

Here's a rescued attempt at widefield astrophotography from @alex and my trip to Cape Cod earlier this month. Observing the Pleiades without a telescope or binoculars was an unforgettable experience.
