                          Pleiades & The California Nebula in Taurus
 

    ...and even from a bad image, this was taken at my FIRST Star Party, using a 1940's  Kodak A1 with Kodak 800/400? Gold film.
And shows what data you can discern from even a bad image. I'd forgotten the date I took it, so I took this image to Astrometry dot net,
had the stars 'called out' & annotated, and noticed one was not included. So I took opened up TheSKY 4.0 by the B Brothers in
Golden, CO and mimicked the image, viole' it was MARS.... I'd forgotten. At the bottom left were jets taking off & landing at the New
DIA airport ENE of Denver and 58 miles away from me # 189.45* Azimuth. The horrid Bright area is the Light pollution from Denver
& Greeley, which has only got Worse today.....sigh.... when was the Last time YOU were at a DARK SITE? At them, I have been able
to see stars as dim as, 7.1 magnitude, checked on annotated star map of the area we were surveying (Ft. Union, New Mexico).
So be careful what you Throw away, might be some, 'Hidden Gold, in them thar' photos'. Dark Skies & Think cosmic !! (10/22/2022)
