Messier 45 - The Pleiades

from €39.00

Messier 45, also known as the Pleiades or the Seven Sisters, is one of the most well known open star clusters in the night sky. In Dutch, it has a rather poetic name “Het Zevengesternte”, which roughly translates to seven-star constellation. This open cluster is located in the constellation Taurus, at a distance of about 440 light-years from Earth. Recent studies confirmed that the Pleiades contains over 3,000 stellar members, making is 20 times larger than originally thought.

To ensure the high quality prints perfectly match the digital image, I produced multiple prototypes using different types of photo paper and materials, and carefully refined the results. The final result is the best possible balance between detail, contrast and print quality.

Each print is produced in high quality on Fujifilm Glossy photo paper.

The image itself was captured using my William Optics Redcat 51 MK2.5 telescope and ZWO ASI294MC PRO cooled deep-sky camera, a combination that delivers incredible detail and amazing looking stars.

The print is available in the following sizes:

  • 30 × 45 cm (12 × 18 inches)

  • 50 × 75 cm (20 × 30 inches)

  • 70 × 105 cm (28 × 42 inches)

Each print comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. This certificate verifies that the print you receive is an original CVZ_Astro print, carefully crafted and inspected by myself to ensure a high quality standard.

I offer global delivery with parcel tracking, so you are always able to follow your order and be assured that it arrives in perfect condition.
