Description

Pleiades (M45) and the dust nearby.
I still struggle a bit at times with Pixinsight. It is getting easier, and GHS definitely helps, but still feel like I may be missing something with it, more specifically with local intensity, and keeping bright objects from being blown out while trying to brighten the dimmer objects. I also realize it's a matter of simply accumulating more exposure time, as well. But clouds are not always in our favor.
Constructive criticism as always is incredibly appreciated.
Canon EOS Rebel T7 modified (800iso)
Rokinon 135mm @F2.8
130 x 180 second exposures (6.5 hr total)
50 darks
30 flats/bias
ZWO AM5
William Optics Uniguide 32mm guide scope
ASI220MM Guide camera
Controlled via ASIAIR
Stacked and processed solely in Pixinsight. DSS, my normal stacking software, does not like that my dark frames show as 1 pixel smaller on the width due to taking them separately without the setup.
