Constellation Taurus


Kodak Pro 400 PPF - 6 x 7 cm Pentax medium format camera w/90mm lens

- The stars of the night sky have been divided and mapped since ancient times. With this mapping the imaginative shapes and legends of the constellations were created.

This photo of Taurus shows, enlarged in their true color, the main "naked eye" stars that make up the shape of the constellation. This is a natural photographic technique with the effect created during a single exposure of the film.

The photograph also shows other deep space detail in this region of the sky - the Pleiades star cluster and the California Nebula.
