Thanks Nathan, it looks okay at that scale, but at 100% there are lots of issues and I'm really not happy with it. I took 5 hours of subs that night :/

Definitely. From home my exposures at 1600 and f4 are sky limited after about 1.5 to 2 mins.
Attached is an example of a single 5 min sub from the previous image, compared to a stack of 2 min subs from home. Same equipment and settings, only the exposure length changed. The difference is huge. These were only stretched, so the light polution gradients are still evident in the bottom image.
The 5 min sub was no where near sky limited, I was only limited by my polar alignment, with guiding I could have gone much deeper.
