A great astronomy photo

Well the today's weather is not the best for staring at the stars.  So, here's a great fall astronomy http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap121026.html.  In this photo you will see the Pleiades star cluster.  On a clear night here you can see this cluster without a telescope.  So, if it is clear try to see this beautiful night time sight!
