Already has gentle noise reduction. I don't usually like using it. The best noise reduction is more time. The thing is, I'm pretty harsh on processing. If I can't see grain, I haven't made it bleed hard enough.
Some people like em buttery smooth, not me so much.

The DSLR has let you capture the reflection nebulosity beautifully. The famous Herbig-Haro jet (the thorn in the pussy-cat's ear) and the cometary globule next to it are only just there if you know where to look.

Thanks M&T. The core was masked out when processing the rest so as not to blow out the central stars, though with shorter subs I could have done even better. A bit like processing the Orion nebula.
