Planet Venus & Pleiades conjunction
by mikeyscope
The 'V'- shape of Hyades star cluster is to the left, both clusters are within constellation Taurus.
Due to rain showers and impatience to try the 1.4x rear converter for first time I set zoom to 21mm rather than 24mm, we won't count the 3mm error.
Anyway... cropped image.
Pentax K5
Pentax 12-24mm @21mm
1.4x rear converter
Exp. 30secs @f10
iso 500
Ioptron tracking mount at siderial rate on photo tripod hence trees show motion blur.
Yes I was surprised just how well the 1.4x converter performed, I highly recommend it, money well spent!
