M45, The Seven Sisters
Sketch and Details by Per-Jonny Bremseth
Hey!
I send you “Heavenly Sisters”.
The open cluster M.45 or “Pleiades” is a very fine object to
observe with binoculars and telescope.
I made a study of this cluster in some clear nights in nov.2003.
First I observed M.45 with a 10×50 binocular, then I observed with
my 20.3 cm. SCT, f/10 with different oculars.
To see the Meropenebula, I blocked out the star Merope with
50x on my telescope, swept slowly over the area south of the star
and at last I could see this faint nebula.
The “Seven sisters” have got many babies do I see, with
whom, Perseus??
I used crayons (watercolours) on black paper only.
My observation was done north of Trondheim city, Norway,
Best wishes from Per-Jonny Bremseth.
Per,
This is accurate sketch.
I prefer view without spikes, but Your pictures looks nice.

Per-Jonny,
Nice carefully executed sketch of the Pleiades.
It is my favorite example of an open cluster and you have captured it as it appears in a small scope.
