I noticed too many stars behind the Moon.. 🌕 🌌

On the midnight of November 16th, the clouds cleared, revealing a perfect night for stargazing. I set up my observatory-grade refractor to capture the Beaver Super Moon, but something unusual caught my attention—there were more stars visible than usual behind the Moon. This was surprising, as the brightness of a supermoon typically obscures background stars.

Curious, I opened my Starmap 3D+ app and pointed it toward the Moon. To my delight, I discovered that the Pleiades star cluster was perfectly positioned right behind it!

I grabbed my full frame mirrorless camera, and captured the image in full details. Usually, I take 1 exposure separately of the stars and add it to the Moon background, but this time it was not necessary, because Pleiades was already decorating the background naturally.

I then finalized the image and ordered myself a large print, I was amazed with the details, the print felt like light was glowing out of it.

The photo is available in limited quantity for a limited time, with framing options available.

The Pleiades gave the Beaver Super Moon a perfect vibe. I’m sure this will bring you happiness when you order a print and decorate your wall with it. As a valued subscriber, this email is actually your early access to the limited edition print, so make sure to get yours before they run out and before the sale ends.
