Thanks, although the calibre of work there is intimidating!

You have done absolutely the right thing mixing it up with the shorter exposures, and it shows.

Make sure you back up your data, and send it off to the printer.

Well done!
Cheers. Having been in the photography game for a long time before I started doing astrophotography, backup is a routine I am well acquainted with. All data lives on a NAS with a backup routine to cloud and local external HDD

Thanks. I was surprised how much 2 hours gave, but then I suppose it is a very bright target.

I've actually pre-processed it as I realised I'd blown out the stars a bit too much with my original process. Here's the new version, I tried to keep the overall consistency of the image, just fixing the stars.
