I had a go at webcamming the Pleiades with my short tube refractor and
0.6 second exposure. Although I (obviously) couldn’t get the whole cluster in,
I managed a few runs with more than one star. In some ways the photos looked a
bit like close-ups of multiple star systems taken with much larger telescopes.
An attempt to stitch them together failed.
I also tried Melotte 20 but could only see
Alpha Persei on the screen. However, I was able to capture 2 other stars
nearby.
