Pleiades

First attempt at imaging this target. This one was tougher to process than I expected, bringing out the nebulosity while trying to keep the stars from bloating took some time (even though they are still a little bloated but acceptable I think).

Interesting and great first effort.

Looks good. I too was recently able to image this target and bringing out the nebulosity is tricky without blowing out the darkness of space. I think I shot it with the a Canon 300mm F4 with a 2x teleconverter or something similar piggybacked on the Celestron rather than the telescope.
