16h of Pleiades

16h of Pleiades 📸 I love the object, and really wanted to capture the beautiful details of the dust and reflections.

And to be honest, I'm a bit disappointed ..

I tried different processing methods, but never got to the level of quality that I would like. It misses a level of detail, or a certain level of noise. .. I don't know if this is what I can achieve at my level and gear, or that other people also find it underwhelming for 16h of data.

feel free to ask or suggest stuff!
