Nice shot,maybe worth increasing the sub length to 1-2 minutes to bring out some of the nebulosity

Reminds me of the first time I imaged this one and then two years later came back to it, you may find yourself doing the same thing but nothing beats the thrill of imaging something for the first time.

This was my first attempt 

Then later on when I had gained more experience I did this one..

 Not trying to budge in on your shot there just  hope that encourages you to come back to the seven sisters again it has lots more to give you and is a wonderful subject.

thanks quartermass

love the second shot you've done, i've only recently bought myself a guidecam QHY5L for my 50x9 finder so hopefully will be able to improve my sub lengths considerably from now on  will keep practicing my processing skills too as think they need polishing.
