Description

This is a project that took 1 year to complete, even if the Pleiades have plenty of light the surrounding dust is much fainter. It took 13 h of luminance and total exposure of 24h to get this signal under Bortle 5 in my backyard. It was interesting to see the results after adding more and more luminance frames but now I think that I can't get more details under my local conditions due to this I'm happy with the results.
