Thanks George. I actually didn't have to do much once I got the script set up and slept through a lot of the actual imaging time. My strategy going forward is to keep imaging a target while it is visible (over many nights) and then wait until it is no longer available before I start trying to process. In many cases my limited horizon means there is often only one target to choose from at any particular time so I'm likely going to accumulate a lot of data on a target in that instance. If there is more than one thing worth imaging I will set a target number of subs for each target and move on to the next object when I'm done with the first.

Cheers Pete. I had 14 hours of LUM and 2.5 hours each of RGB. It is amazing how much easier it is to process when there is plenty of raw data. I didn't do any noise reduction and the rejection/stacking algorithm took care of any dodgy subs without me going through each one. I did take onboard some advice from IIS members on some additional processing steps (Decon and HDRMultiscaleTransform with a bit of S-Curve tweak at the end) and I think these really made a difference.
