Mars & Taurus Clusters (85mm Samy EOS Ra).jpg

Add to Cart Add to Lightbox Download
Orange Mars, at centre, between the blue Pleiades (at right) and the large Hyades (at left) star clusters, with orange Aldebaran adorning the Hyades (though it is not a member of the Hyades but a foreground star). The more distant and smaller cluster NGC 1647 is at top left, also in Taurus. This was March 11, 2021.

This is a stack of 4 x 4-minute tracked exposures with the Samyang 85mm AF lens at f/2.8 on the Canon EOS Ra at ISO 800, with a single exposure of the same length blended in taken through the Kase/Alyn Wallace StarGlow filter to add the star glows! (Though haze moving in was starting to do the job naturally at this time.) The tracker was the Star Adventurer 2i.
