Thanks Mark! It's a fascinating region that's for sure

Cheers Trev, Yes refractors are easy by comparison! But like the little engine that could, "I think I can, I think I can"

Just adjust your levels so that the inherent noise is not noticeable like Peter Ward does and all is well.

I personally prefer to see the noise as it gives me a better idea of what was recorded than some sort of fictitious ideal.

Cheers Bert, Yes this region is your baby - thanks for your insights

Yes you're gradually taming that beast, and a braver man than me at those focal lengths and relatively small aperture. At around 50hrs it'll look pretty schmick I reckon
Ta Simmo - Glad the IIS crew doesn't disappoint!
50+ hrs? Heck, I have 75+ hrs on the Helix, and 5 nights on NGC 300 to get together yet, still the forecast of clouds for all this week may allow some more processing time.
If I could just tame the merge 1x1 & 2x2 bin data function in APP it'll be a breeze
