Stan: Just superb. Without words!!!. How did you obviate Venus outshining the Pleiades? Is it a composite image? Just love to know. Thanks for the image. Carlos Hernandez Astrocharlie Heredia, Costa Rica

Just beautiful! The evening skies have been glorious recently! And this photo is a wonderful remembrance of it all; after tonight Venus won't be visiting that cluster of stars for another 8 years.
