Seven Sisters and a Galaxy

The star cluster pleiades, never fails to amaze us! The seven sisters are visible from all parts of the globe and for us, the people in northern hemisphere, it is associated with the winter season. This image tries to capture the wonderful nebula along with the dusts that can be seen around the region. Just above the star Electra, we were also able to resolve the very faint spiral galaxy UGC 2838 having a magnitude of 17.8.
