As an aside, I was interested to see the difference between the high res image on Astrobin and the one with the tech details. There is a double star on the upper edge of the galaxy which provides a good gauge of detail. It’s clear on the high res image but pretty blurry on the low res one.

Thanks very much Geoff :-)

Thanks George :-) This image now has just over 20hrs of data; I've updated the original post to reflect that. Seeing has deteriorated here the last few days and if that's an indication of what's to come over the next few days, I think it's a waste of time getting more luminance. I think I have enough RGB so I'm calling it done on the acquisition on this one. I could probably bring out the faint fuzzies better by lightening the background a bit... I've never been particularly great at bringing out the faint stuff.
