Hello guys this is my 1hours and 22min stack of Pleiades and its surrounding nebulosity.
Telescope: cheap 114/500 newt

Bias and flats both 40 frames.

Walking noise is better after advice from @glad widget Thanks a lot

Hmm, for almost an hour and a half I feel like you should be seeing more nebulosity.

Odd, I live in a bortle 8 and was able to see some nebulosity in my eight minute exposure. Your scope seems to be collimated, maybe dew or fog on your mirror, or something wrong with the camera?

#

(granted it's not a lot but somehow it's more than this)

#

thats the same amount of nebulosity i saw visually through a 10" dob so probably dew or fog

my scope is on my balcony

yeah, if your mirror is cold and the air is warm (or vice versa), moisture can condensate on the mirror, and the image quality will be reduced quite significantly

Lowering the iso and taking more subs would be a good starting point
