Details:
This morning, the last quarter Moon was in very close conjunction with the Pleiades star cluster.
It was beautiful to see through binoculars, but veryu difficult to photograph due to the huge difference in brightness between the Moon and the stars.
I tried to create an image close to what one could see through binoculars. I combined 9 shots to get an HDR picture showing the stars, details of the Moon, and a faint Earthshine.
Nikon Z7 & Nikkor Z 180-600
420mm / ISO250 / f8 / 9 shots from 1/60s to 4s exposure.
