My first with flats and darks

Hi all,
Despite not being able to get the Atlas AZEQ6 to work with PHD2, I managed 42 minutes of images plus darks and flats for this image of M8. It was the first time I was happy enough with the luminance images to get the flats and darks. Stacked in DSS and tweaked in Lightroom and Photoshop.
William Optics 132 FLT
ZWOASI294MC-Pro exposure 20s x 128
Optolong L-extreme
AZEQ6 sadly without PHD2
I bumped the ZWO gain up to a dizzying 400 because I couldn't do longer exposures until I can connect to PHD2. This maybe why it's so noisy.

Suggestions most welcome.
Regards
Geoff
