Gee a mammoth project indeed around 2000 x 60 sec exposures
To expose those tails like you’ve done is testament to your skill and experience in Galaxy imaging.
A great result
Well done !!!

Thanks Martin - I was really pleased with the res in the core and can really put this down to a few of those nights with really excellent seeing. I just went back to my data sets and some of the best subs were coming in at FWHM 1.5-1.6"! Thats pretty much as good as it gets here in Padstow. Not sure if you've noticed too, but on the odd clear nights we've had here in Sydney the seeing really has been excellent.
The tails are a different matter with all the LP. I really had to push the data hard to get them to come out. Luckily theres not too much discernable detail in them so could counter with some aggressive noise reduction.
