Hi Rex,

Looks very good, lots of detail in there.
I see you've used the CLS LP filter but with an F4, 10 minute exposures gather a lot of LP even with the best filter and after 4 minutes, there's not much gain in signal. its the brown tinge.
I used to use an 8" F4 and have played around a bit with an IDAS LPS-P2 LP filter. so tested different exposure lengths for the same target and realized that the details in a 10min aren't that different from a 5 minute which is only slightly better than a 3 min.

you can easily remove it with processing software like Startools and PI, attached is a quick wipe in startools.

I'd suggest keeping your subs to 3 to 5 minutes and increasing the number of subs.
That would help reduce LP showing up.

Do experiment if you get the chance.
try 10x3 min exposures and then 6 x 5min and compare. well worth it.
or even single subs.

your guiding and coma correction are perfect.

Cheers
Alistair
