I have a questions though.......why are you still in the Beginners Section? (I'd say time to move to Deep Sky based on this pic!)

Well done, great capture
thanks Jon, there is definitely more detail in the fainter areas, but it's a compromise between detail and noise. If I can add another night I can stretch more and manage the noise. I still think of myself as a beginner in this deep sky digital stuff; I only started with a DSLR on a telescope ~ 4 months back and then onto dedicated ASI cameras 2-3 months ago. I'm spring-boarding tho on years of astro experience in and out over last 40 years, including film-based astro deep sky in the 80's; and years of digital terrestrial photography over the last 10 years helps with some basic processing stuff in Photoshop :-)
