Awhile ago I posted some deep space shots from the SOHO solar observation satellite and think I mentioned here that the Beehive is also visible from SOHO, but I don't recall posting a shot of it, so here are 16 frames from last
July stacked (primitive as they may be, don't forget that the Sun is very nearby, just to the right and cropped out and the Beehive wasn't visible at night to Earthbound telescopes at the time the shot was taken, and the camera has a tiny objective.)
