M45 (the Pleiades, or Seven Sisters) is a very nice large cluster of stars, well known because of it's brightness and size in the sky. There is faint blue nebulosity surrounding the stars (actually unrelated to the stars themselves, just happens to be in the same line of sight such that we see the nebulosity) but I haven't managed to capture much of that here. It is particularly difficult to capture the nebulosity in light polluted skies.
