I had a very brief weather window to attempt the Pleiades with my new GTI, everything else is the same as last time except some new editing steps in Siril and Affinity Photo.
It's about 2 hours worth of data in 25 sec shots, unguided, with a 500mm photo lens stopped down to f8 (hence the spiky stars) and a stock Sony A6000.
Lost about an hour of data because the powerbank that powered the dew heater died, putting that on my checklist for sure!
Feedback appreciated, old post in the comments for reference.

Stunning on both accounts; the Pleiades are one of my favorite features of the sky.

Thank you!
I was quite pleased with the first result, but this latest one made me realize my hours of preparing and learning have paid off.
Will revisit in the future to see how much further I can take it!
I did upgrade my mount and improved my editing workflow, but I think there's quite a bit more detail I can squeeze out without changing anything, just having more patience and better preparation.
