Equipment Details:

I used a Nikon D5600 set on manual at F5.3, with a 1 sec. exposure and an ISO of 1250. The lens is a Tamron 70-300mm set at 190mm.

Post-processing Details:

This photo was cropped for size outside the camera.

Image Details:

This is a capture of the Lunar conjunction with the Pleiades star cluster (Messier 45 also known as the Seven Sisters). The difficulty in this photo was in preventing the brightness of the Moon from blinding out the faintness of the Pleiades.
