Equipment Details:

Canon 5DS and an Orion 8" f/3.9 Newtonian Astrograph with an Orion SkyGlow Astrophotography filter mounted on a Celestron Advanced VX.

Post-processing Details:

Edited using Affinity Photo, this is an HDR stack of three images. Alterations were applied to brightness, contrast, clarity, and colour temperature.

Image Details:

Last night Venus was closing in on the Pleiades. The planet's impressive brightness made it difficult to render much detail within the star cluster.
