I have had plenty of time to play around with old data lately with the weather I have been having. Apart from the lunar eclipse last weekend it feels like years since I have done a image with my telescope. I thought I would reprocess my data from The Pleiades as I wanted to bring out more of the faint wispy nebula. Feedback/suggestions/critique very welcome. Did I do a better job?
Original here

The Pleiades, or Seven Sisters (Messier object 45), is an open star cluster containing middle-aged hot B-type stars located in the constellation of Taurus. It is among the nearest star clusters to Earth and is the cluster most obvious to the naked eye in the night sky.

Having played around with dss slightly, I can surely appreciate the amounts of work you guys put into getting these results. Lovely!

Besides, this looks rather detailed, compared to the puny smears of a Pleiades I got with a wideangle landscape lens, lol. :D
