Pleiades

I was out again tonight with my telescope.
I've been viewing loads of stuff over the last two nights, aside from the moon as pictured yesterday. I've had great viewings of Betelgeuse, Mars, the Orion Nebula and Pleiades.
I've been photographing Mars and the Orion nebula but due to the limitations of my camera (in the case of Mars) and because of light pollution (in the case of the Orion nebula), I'm yet to get a good shot.
I took a great photo of the moon tonight with almost no blurring and as the moon is not quite full this is almost the best time to view it (once the moon is full there are few shadows and craters are harder to make out). I decided against using that photo today since I used the moon yesterday and instead went for the Pleiades star cluster.
Again, apologies for the slight blurring but it's freezing cold outside!
