Quite a lot of detail and nice colour.

Thanks Justin! I am continuing the recipe with a 10" F4 scope now too. If I had a 20" F4 I'd.... probably behave and do it properly. Or not.

I might give this a try, at my location skyglow kills longer exposures.

How many darks do you usually take to subtract from hundreds of lights?

Very nice indeed.
Thanks Alex. Usually 20 darks is all. But I took this image in 3 sets so the number of total darks would be around 60.

If you are shooting nebula a gentle LP / Skyglow filter will help in light polluted sky.
