On February 26 the moon passed very close to the Pleiades. I wanted to see if I could get the 44% illuminated moon and the Pleiades to show up well in the same photo. Then wispy, fast-moving clouds came along and framed everything oh-so-nicely. It was very beautiful to see and unusually clear for this time of year. Thanks again to EarthSky for all the "good stuff" that you provide and share with us all.

Canon EOS 1300D, on a Tripod, with remote cable switch. ISO 800, f/5.6, 2 sec open shutter, 250 mm focal length.

A little contrast and color saturation, to sharpen it up.
