Thanks folks.
Not actually comparing my results to any others - I deliberately haven't really looked at many amateur shots of it, which for some reason is how I prefer to do it first time. I like seeing which way the data goes and following it to an aesthetically pleasing result. Unfortunately this particular data didn't really go anywhere...!
Think I need to spend a lot of time on the aforementioned tutorials and reading before getting back out there for more shooting. Ta for the book tip Raymo, I'll see if I can track down a copy.
Re the cheap DSLR, I'm mainly saying that to distinguish it from a CCD or OSC, but I'll be trying a pro DSLR next time I image just to see what difference there is, if any. I'm fairly unimpressed with the D3300 for normal daylight photography - it's noisy as hell and its colour rendition is only so-so, not to mention the lower bitrate NEFs, so it would surprise me somewhat if a better body didn't improve at least some aspects, dynamic range and noise being the main two I'll be testing. Main problem though is losing the crop factor & magnification. Anyway we shall see!
Cheers
