sorry equipment..80mm Espirit (in my view a fantastic little unit so manageable but does a reasonable job) ZWO cooled mono,no darks or flats, heq5 unguided mount dark site but less than perfect seeing as I recall...so much was shot between the clouds.
stacked again in deep sky stacker using 3x drizzle, my new friend, then star tools and 50 % binning..startools seems to eat up the extreme noise
I generate using over the top gain settings,..but at 30 seconds there is little other option..then photo shop to merge the individual frames, used rubber tool to fix the blown out core with ones that had a core..two sets of ha …bit of dodge and burn to bring out more detail then a little adjustment in gimp and downsized there.
