The Pleiades (M45) - first attempt; any advice or feedback welcomed

Again I was very happy with this for my second photo ever......but I had a hard time centering the image but that was mainly because I am still getting used to all the functions. I am getting to center things a little easier by taking loop exposures for focusing using the 2x2 bin mode.

 This is my second photo using my new 8" Reflector Astrograph with a StarShoot Pro II CCD. Maxim DL.

10 60 second exposures

Any advice or thoughts are welcomed!! I would love to capture more of the nebulae around the Seven Sisters!!!
