Pleiades Star Cluster

I captured the data for this object in November 2015 and recently tripped across it when reorganising the data files on my server. I must have been distracted at the time with the recent (then) acquisition of my TSA 120 so didn't get around to processing the data.

I was hoping to capture more of the nebulosity that surrounds the Pleiades which you can see in some wide field shots. There is a hint of it here but I will need more data I think to bring it out. Nevertheless, a good find for data that I had lurking about.

Acquisition comprised approximately 3.5 hours of data which includes about 14 each of RGB at 300 second subs. Captured with SGP pro and processed in Pixinsight.

I have included links below to this image on Astrobin and also, for interest, a link to my first go at this object taken with my Canon 550D in 2012. Good to see where the journey has taken my imaging these past few years.

Comments and critique welcome.
