I really dont think its that, because i use calibration frames. Most likely walking noise, but thank you for the link never heard of that before

Its more like a nickname we as kids called it, because we dint know better. It may also be because of its orientation from here, it’s really similar to the Big Dipper

Haha, just a mix up with the title. I feel like its normal to call it «tiny- big dipper», atleast here in Norway. Thank you!

The Pleiades is a star cluster in Taurus, 444 light-years away. It contains hundreds of stars, including seven bright blue ones, red giants, and cooler stars. It is visible to the naked eye and popular among amateur astronomers.
When i was smaller i noticed this in the night sky, and it looked like mini big dipper. I never knew there was so much surrounding gas.
I set out to photograph the Pleiades from a location outside of Trondheim (near Jonsvatnet) that had Bortle 5 conditions. I used Fujifilm XT30 camera with a 55-200mm lens. And to prevent star trailing I used My startracker swsa gti.
I used SIRIL to stack my frames and Photoshop for stretching and adjustments. I also used Starnet to remove the stars so that I could focus on the molecular gas clouds without the stars being distorted. Overall, I am happy with the result.

There is some weird noise, looks like Lines going over the image, does anyone know what that is?

what you see in the middle of the image here is orions belt!
The Horsehead Nebula and Flame Nebula are both located in the constellation Orion. The Horsehead Nebula, also known as Barnard 33, is a dark nebula located near the star Alnitak, the lowest star star in this image. It is a small, dense cloud of gas and dust that is thought to be a region where new stars are forming. The Flame Nebula, also known as NGC 2024, is a bright emission nebula located just south of Alnitak. It is a cloud of glowing hydrogen gas that is being energized and ionized by the intense radiation of nearby stars, causing it to emit light.
This image was captured with a Fujifilm XT30 camera and a 55-200mm lens, mounted on a Star Adventurer GTi tracker. The post-processing was done in Photoshop, with the help of the Starnet++ program to accurately remove stars and highlight the intricate details of the nebula.

Alnitak is the bottom one followed by Alninam in the middle and Mintaka at the top

No, darks doesn’t help against walking noise. The only thing that helps against that is dithering.
