Anyway, I am not unhappy with this at this point, the processing was literally my first crack at RGB-HA-Oiii and I only had about an hour to work on it. Real life intrudes! With any luck the mono cam arrives soon and I can redo the NB subs and then put a lot more time in to the process.

What you do is create a HA extracted image, then do a starnet++ on that, do the same with the rgb combined one,
On the Ha version do the topaz denoise, same with the rgb, then add the Ha as a luminance layer, you'll be amazed at how smooth the image becomes. As you yourself stated you only spent an hour on something new to you. It take me up to 3-4 hours to finish an image when processing. I'm very ocd with the process and will tweak here and there, even then I'm never happy. but noise can definitely be tamed. (would love the funds for the 294mm so I can then play around and use the 2 cameras together.)
