Nice one, lots of nebulosity captured.
don't despair about the light pollution.

I just had a 2 minute play with your image and i think you should try this:


duplicate your image in PS
filter/blur/gaussian blur the copy (max blur)
Personally i usually give that blur a slight filter/noise add noise at 1.3 pixels (this is optional.

The click on the original image,
select Image from menu/apply image

ensure that the top drop down box has the copy (blurred) selected in the drop down

then select "subtract" from the blending menu,

adjust the offset (try offset 13 on this image)

light pollution noise should be gone, leaving a nice inky sky and a stand out Pleiades.

you got it there and it looks very good
cheers
