That's a marvelous image you are sharing with us. I always thought the Pleiades star cluster was much smaller than this image depicts. Interesting...

Unfortunately the sight might be tougher to capture out here on the East coast.

The Pleides star cluster really does take up about as much arc width of our sky as the full moon.

Incidently, there are more than seven stars there, many in the cluster that aren't bright enough to see.
