When photographing the open star cluster Pleiades (M45) back in September, not far from the village of Verkh-Irmen in the Novosibirsk region. Managed to capture at least a little of the rather difficult Merope Nebula. This cold dust nebula is located only 0.06 light-years from the bright star Merope, or 3500 times the distance from Earth to the Sun; a strong stream of particles, "stellar wind," from the star blows the dust further into space. The small photo below on the left shows how it is seen by the famous orbital telescope named after E. Hubble.
Separated from the general dust nebula using StarNet.
