IC 2602 Southern Pleiades

Click image above to view full size
This image shows the Southern Pleiades. I think I'm probably missing some of the stars (out of FOV) but am not 100% sure.
I like the look of this image. The bright stars with a slight blue, crisp tinge, sharp stars almost to the edge with distortions only near the edge, etc. A bit of variation in star colour, especially amongst the mid-brightness stars.
