The Pleiades from the wrong hemisphere

One of the most beautiful Open Clusters of the sky is also well visible from the Southern Hemisphere in summertime even from main cities. Unfortunately when comes the time to portrait the faint reflection nebulosity, a clear sky is a must condition.  

 

So we figure it was a good excuse for travelling four hundred kilometres to get the plain Argentine Pampa's and spend an astrophotography night with friends and the good company of the night sky.

 

TMB 92 SS L and a QSI 583 riding in a SW NEQ6 mount for a total exposure of more than 3,5 hours.
