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.
