Thanks! Yes, 29 hours helps a lot. That figure is a bit misleading. Not all the data is equal. The data from the CFF250/G3-16200 is far superior in terms of resolution and "clean-ness". The SV80ST provides much of the RGB data so it doesn't have to be quite as good as the LUM.

It seems that the data were combined from a wide field instrument (SV80ST) and a narrow field instrument (CFF 250RC). Is this correct? If yes, were there challenges in matching the resolution of the data between these two fields?

That is correct. The image scale of the SV80ST is about 1.6 arcs/px and the CFF at f/6 is about .80 arcs/px. But this difference is scale is almost meaningless. I just use Pixinsight's StarAlignment and it automatically registers the SV80ST data to the CFF data. Easy peasy!
