Thanks Mike, yes that one is quite faint, I found it hard to see, but it is there. This one might come from out more with further integration but I have decided that this will be fine for now.

Yes it didn't for me either Ron. It is fixed now though. Sorry about that.

You said "The image contains around 23 hours of data which 3 hours in each colour. It probably should have double of that to get those fainter interactions showing up brightly."

Did you mean double the amount of colour to bring out faint colour on the galaxies, or double the total amount of data?

Ron: Here's the appropriate link: http://paulhaese.net/NGC3347.html

Thanks Lee, yes I meant the later. I think a deeper integration with my system (11002 sensor is quite an old tech now) overall would be better. I could see the bridge of stars in the blue channel and in the luminance, so I think doubling the colour and the luminance overall would produce a brighter look to the interaction stream of stars.
