Allan I do not mind at all in fact I welcome it!

Here is the data as a compressed tiff 123 MB

The data was upsized before stacking which improves resolution. My sensor with nine micron pixels under samples the resolution of the RH200. It has only been corrected for darks and flats. I have removed the gradients with PixInsight.

It expands to a 216MB tiff.

My version was just a quickie to see how the alignment was. I have been up all night and at my age that is quite a feat!

Look forward to your efforts or anyone else's.

The main mission last night was to image a field of dim stars to see how the alignment stood up. Thor's Helmet was just a bonus.
