The Hyades star cluster in Taurus with orange giant Aldebaran. The star cluster NGC 1647 is at upper left. The colourful double star Theta 1 and 2 Tauri is at lower centre.

This is a stack of 8 x 4-minute exposures at ISO 800 with the Canon R6, and the little Askar 230 astrograph at f/5.5. Autoguided and dithered with the MGEN3 guider. The last 4 exposures were taken January 20, 2022 with the waning Moon rising adding some blue tint to the sky, which is partly retained here. Diffraction spikes added with Astronomy Tools actions.
