M45 Pleiades Open Cluster

I grew up on a dairy farm.  I use to get up every morning at 5:00 AM and feed calves at 6:00 AM.  In the Fall and Winter months I noticed in the starry sky a small patch of brilliant dim cobalt blue stars.  I always held a special place in my mind for these group of stars.  They were unique and nothing else in the night sky like it. I use to wonder if there was something special about these stars.  At this age I didn't know what an open star cluster was or that this was cataloged as a deep sky object.  There are other names that this cluster are called.  One of them being the Seven Sisters.  This is one of my favorite open clusters.  On a good clear night with excellent seeing and a dark site area, you can see some nebulosity around the stars.  There is dust around these stars that can be seen from the reflection of the stars.  The nebula is called a reflection nebula.  Cameras can really pick this nebulosity up well because of the light that it can collect over several minutes.  These frames that I took of M45 are 3 minutes a piece with 4 hours taken with a total of 57 frames staked in Deep Sky Stacker and processed in Photoshop.
