Excellent! Even the dust lanes are visible. Honestly, I'm pleasantly surprised that a kit lens can perform like this—and I'm not downplaying the skill of your hands at all.

Thank you! I just missed the moment, forgot to add it to the PixInsight software.

You could try capturing the Pleiades together with the California Nebula from this viewing angle. I think it should turn out well for you.

You have a PixInsight license with expensive plugins, stop torturing yourself and get a proper lens.

I achieved exactly the same result with free Siril+GraXpert =)

And now I've already acquired a Quattro 150.

Why pay for PixInsight when there's a cracked 1.8 version available?

It's so old and clunky that it's easier to just use Siril.
