Fantastic first effort Russell ! 2 tips I’ll offer you with regards to DSLR capture. Firstly Darks will make a huge difference to how much you can stretch the image in post processing. As to how many that’s up for debate. I generally work around 10-15. I do however tend to take a few while I’m setting up my guider at the start of a session as well as at the end to capture darks at the varied temperatures throughout the night. Flats also make a big difference when you’re stretching the image as they will give you an even luminance across the image. The second tip is to stack more images, even if you have to spread the capture over a couple of sessions. This will again give you the ability to extract more data from the noise.
In any case, what you have done for a first effort is excellent and you should be very proud of what you’ve achieved! Well done.
