The Seven Sisters

Recommended Posts

Stargazers here on the forum will recognize the Pleiades star cluster - aka "The Seven Sisters" - in the center of this shot taken out the cockpit window of an FS2020 A320. The photo insert shows the real world star cluster.

 

The airplane is heading south after departing Boston's Logan International Airport (KBOS). The position of the Pleiades as viewed in the sim is correct for today's date and the local Boston time when the shot was taken.

If you don't know already, for Android, and maybe iOS, there are several star map augmented reality Apps to show you what you're looking at in the night sky. I use an App called Skymap. Check it out.

Ya know, I set up my Celestron SCT to look at this pic but can't focus. Must be too close to the monitor...

 

Seriously, thanks for sharing! Very cool!
