Equipment Details:

Stellarvue 80mm scope and Nikon D810A camera

Post-processing Details:

I combined several layers of the same photo at different exposures to show the Pleiades without completely obliterating the lunar details and blowing out the image with moonlight.

Image Details:

This is the full moon with the Pleiades star cluster last night. Of course you can't view the nebulosity of the Pleiades in so much moonlight. It was a challenge juszt to get the stars to show up.
