Here's a quick 4 hours on M74, 12 5 minute subs each filter. It took three nights to get this data due to the smoke and clouds. More excuses - this object culminates only 45 degrees above the horizon, in this case the Perth CBD which is only 10km away. However - there's a satisfying number of faint fuzzies in the background, and I'm reasonably happy with the detail.
Processing in pixinisght, with a tiny bit of decon on the luminance.
