Corona Australis starry dust

Well, it's a fun region to take a picture of! I'm still struggling to get a really smooth background - I can't say I've got great confidence in the work of the darks and flats just yet, but equally I probably just need to take a heap more images of the region to get better smoothness in the dusty areas.

24 x 5 minutes (2 hours integration time), ISO800, EOS 60D, darks, flats and bias subtracted. 150mm f/5 Newtonian on HEQ5 pro mount, Orion mini autoguider. Stacked and processed in PixInsight and Photoshop.
