Thanks for the comments everyone, hopefully now I've pushed enough of the buttons in the software to see what they do I can pick a target and collect the right amount of data.
This was also all collected prior to modifying the Canon and without any light pollution or contrast type filters. I'd love to go back and see the difference with the modifications done and the L-pro, it made a big difference with the carina nebula. Guess I'll need to wait unitl next time around though.
It's also a bit of trial and error for the processing, most of the info I found was to do with narrowband / monochrome imaging. I'm not actually sure if I should colour calibrate each stack before the HDR composition, or if the HSV repair script should be before or after the colour calibration. I have a feeling a lot of what looks like detail in the nebulosity is noise that the HDR processing has exposed.
I'd be interested in any suggestions if someone has experience with OSC data and this type of processing.
