Cheers Paul, what with 253, 55 and 300 all within a close distance it's easy to run out of clear nights!

You could even add noise in Photoshop in the same mask to make it finer noise & then a slight blur would nuke it.
Look at many Hubble images -
they don't care about the noise -
it's even more scientifically valuable to show where the noise floor is.

Thanks Allan - I do like to see the noise floor too, as it means I haven't left anything there to squeeze out, and there's such a range in calibration of monitors as well. If I can see the noise on my PC monitors, I know most iphones and ipads will have a crisp black background. It's a personal choice, but I'm always willing to hear other people's views :-)
