About this image

This is the best shot of the Pleiades I've managed to get to date. I was concerned the nearby Moon would hinder my efforts but it seems to have worked out well. I was pleased to have picked up some decent nebulosity. I stacked the images using DeepSkyStacker and processed the result with FastStone Image Viewer and Photoshop Elements.
