My first success!

So this far from the best pleiades picture on this site. There's so much I could have/should have done to improve things, and I'm 100% going back out when I get a chance to have another go, but this is the first shot that really turned out. I am really happy with it.

You can see the dust being lit by the stars! So much of this is just invisible to the human eye.

There's so much more to learn.

Took with a Cannon Rebel T7, using a rented Canon EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 L IS II. 43 minutes of exposure time. Stacked with Deep Sky Stacker and processed with Pixinsight.
