Andy - Am in the process of writing a book to do with Archaeoastronomy and would like to use this image of the Pleiades taken on 2025 Nov 26 as one of the illustrations. Are you happy for me to do this and can you give me some words I might use to acknowledge your contribution? I must say it is a great advert for smartscopes - well done!
