M45 the Pleadies
Quite right... I should have just called it Subaru
I was just looking at the Pleiades about a week ago. There was a beautiful meteor right next to it. The meteor traveled slow and broke up into many pieces. It was one of the best I've seen.
M45 the Pleadies is an open cluster with faint nebulosity.
