Wondering why 20 min subs? With the ASI533 and your scope at it's focal length I think you would be far better off with much shorter exposures that will be less affected by tracking, seeing etc. I've had good results on this object with 2 min exposures using essentially the same sensor type latest liked below processed in Startools. Certainly I think you would see better results with 20 x 5min as opposed to 5 x 20min as here.

Ahh nice ill give that a go before pixinsight for sure, seems like alot to learn to get the most out of it.

20 min subs lol, sorry my bad I meant 2 minute ! How silly

Testing a UHC filter mainly, want to see how much difference it makes. Anything over 2 minutes here seems to not be too beneficial from my backyard so need some more time to test. Weather has been horrendous lately !
