NGC 104 + data

I am guessing that this is an issue with my processing more than data acquisition.
This has been taken with my 130mm refractor, QHY9 and LRGB.
3xRGB, 9xL
Each sub is 200s so it is totally 1 hour of data. I am having serious issues dragging any colour from the stars without introducing HUGE amounts of noise. Basically I am pushing the saturation really hard just to get anything other than white.

So I thought it could be good to put up the data files and see what others may be able to achieve, hopefully something that makes mine look like the beginner processor that I am

What I am personally finding at the moment is that I need to be pushing exposure times towards the 10m (600s) mark just to be able to manipulate the colours without introducing more problems :/

Feel free to have some fun.
