Take 2 Tarantula - now with over 5 hours data

First image is with over 5 hours of data taken over three nights and second is from just the one night 1hr 30m version I posted a few days ago for comparison.

Mostly 180s exposures, ASI533mc pro using Askar 400 (72mm f5.6) and most critically the new L extreme filter from Optolong as this is in Bortle 7 skyglow dome of Brisbane city with Moon also well present.

The extra data helps a lot I think. Similar processing but with less noise was able to retain more fine detail.

I may add more to this but suspect it's probably diminishing returns from here.

Comments, advice, critique always welcome.
