A 5 min exposure of the Pleiades merged with a 1/5th second exposure of the moon.

Great image, but does that mean there are stars between the Earth and the Moon, or are you looking at it from the "other side".

It means theres a photo of the moon stuck on top of a photo of the pleiades.Just a bit of mucking around in photoshop,i,m well aware there should be no stars showing where the shadow of the moon is.Hope there are no green stars either.

Great shot of Pleiades, you can see the nebulas nature of the cluster fantastic.
