Cheers Ray... pretty good bang for buck all things considered :-)
Well, I tested out my "something different" tonight during a brief window when I could get the computer to stay alive.... I took a single 16min sub with an IR-pass filter on.
I expected to see more pronounced large-scale structure as per an ESO image I'd seen, but alas, that wasn't the case. I'm guessing the ESO image was done deeper into the IR spectrum.
I then managed to get two more lum frames with my old ZWO filter before the computer died again. On the bright side, apparently it's a known issue with 2012 Macbook Pro retinas that Apple are fixing even though they're out of warranty which is good. Either way, I've got a more field-appropriate (read: crappy) laptop on the way now.
