Wow I thought my photo of the Moon had some artifacts....it seems no....those are the Pleiades...

Had to zoom in:

Then took my binoculars to get closer:

Not the best quality but still :).

A bit out of focus, unfortunately, but here is the moon poised to occult one the stars in the Pleiades. #photography #astrophotography

NGC 6188, also known as the Rim Nebula, is an emission nebula located about 4,000 light years away in the constellation Ara.
It is a star-forming nebula sculpted by massive, young stars that have formed there in the last few million years.
The bright open cluster NGC 6193, visible to the naked eye, is responsible for a region of reflection nebulosity within NGC 6188.
NGC 6164, also known as the Dragon's Egg Nebula, is a planetary nebula located between 4,000 and 6,000 light years away.
