Thanks Andrew.
I'm not the world's best processing guru but I know a few tricks.
When you sharpen a noisy background it makes it worse.
I have found that it's best to split the channels & work on each one independently.
You'll often find that the noise is different in each channel.
Adding noise & then blurring it can really smooth it out!
All of this has to be done with a suitable blurred layer mask
to work only on the area of concern.
I actually picked up a lot of tricks from Ken Crawford.

I am also impressed by the results people are getting with PixInsight although
I don't have that program.
Also:
I am amazed at the extra detail you can dig out by using Drizzle when stacking.
I'm still trying to twist Mike's arm to get him to stack with drizzle but
he's too strong for me.
cheers
