Ta Steve...I'm slowly getting a handle on PixInsight's noise and DBE tools, which look very promising for removing the noise I'm always struggling with. As a result I don't think I'm done with this one just yet...plus haven't event begun to explore their sharpening tools.

Much appreciate Louie. One significant upside of using a long FL is it reduces the effect of sky glow..i.e. sky brightness per pixel....which in our neck of the woods is hardly trivial.

I found PI fabulous for registering nightscape images that other software could not handle. Its an odd program but some of its tools are just cutting edge.

Thanks Greg. Yep while the PI interface, as I think Marcus put it: about as much fun as bamboo under the fingernails, it has some simply amazing tools
