Details:
The Pleiades Star Cluster (M45), in colours for the brightest stars in this picture, it's always a waypoint in the winter skies, opening the way from Perseus to Orion.
But, yesterday, above Pisa, Italy, the International Space Station made a beautiful passage, and it crossed next to the cluster. In the picture, is the long white streak (due to the exposition of 8" seconds) at its peak magnitude of -3.3!
A great view, that is meant to be shared with everyone. The pic is taken with a Nikon Coolpix P90 Bridge on tripod, ISO 200, f5.0, 8" exposition.
