This is my first attempt at capturing the Pleiades, using a Rokinon 85mm f/1.4 lens and a Nikon D5600 DSLR.

600 x 3 sec
ISO 2000
f/2.0

Bortle 4.5

Processing: DSS, Siril, Starnet, GIMB, and Adobe Lightroom Mobile.

Despite my limitations, and as this is my fourth attempt at deep-space photography, I think I captured some good detail. I didn't try to over-saturate the colors, but rather focus on extracting everything the stacked image offered. Perhaps a lower Bortle setting would have yielded even more detail. What do you think?
