Moon at 2º from the Pleiades.

Here is my capture of last night's conjunction, of the Moon at 2º from the Pleiades.

I wanted this photo of the conjunction to be as real as possible, since I don’t really enjoy using blending techniques for these moments. It wasn’t easy, despite many attempts, this was the only HDR capture I managed to merge without artifacts. But here it is: a fine lunar corona with a beautiful halo, accompanied by the Seven Sisters.
