this is not an easy target, the dust lanes especially are so hard to capture with only 4 hours of data all 10 minute exposures 294mc L-Extreme 130mm Apo with the .7 riccardi reducer

Hate to disagree with you here Nik, but if I can image Corona Australis, anyone can :) This is 8hrs total, but even at 2 hours it wasn't far from this, just noisier. Tak FSQ-85ED, old STF-8300C OSC, horrid light pollution. 10 min subs also. No filters, just PixInsight magic.
