Thank you for sharing your photos - this is exactly what this project is all about! :-)
Open star cluster M45 "Pleiades" and surrounding dust with the Moon at phase 0.37. First test shoot on an astrograph based on Svbony SV535 and a stock Canon M200 camera on an SW Star Adventurer mount. In total, I managed to accumulate 65 frames of 30 sec each, ISO800, until the Moon started to interfere too much. Anyway, the gradient was strong, but fixable. During the new moon with the same conditions, the result would of course be better, especially if accumulating for many times longer. Shooting location: Pushchino, Mariinsko-Posadsky district, Chuvashia. MPC:M12), on the night of October 4 to 5, 2026. Processing in Siril+StarNet++.
Yes, you need to accumulate at least 4-5 hours, and there will be dust detail without noise. But the Moon rose after 22... Astrophotography is weather-dependent.
Next time I'll try to accumulate several times more.
