Thanks Adam! I did use a small amount of (masked) NR but tried not to overdo it....

Either way great looking image

Thanks Mike!
Appreciate the honest feedback guys. I think the graininess might be caused by a flaw in my processing workflow for these types of images (perhaps when I add in the RGB stars but not 100% sure
). I noticed it quite strongly in my Statue of Liberty image but put it down to the relatively short integration time in that image. I'll revisit the processing on this one & see if I can find out what's going on.

The small amount of graininess, which I must say I did not notice at first, is probably the small aperture.
These small pixel cameras are really resolving at a level that only larger refractors could do not that long ago.
I like the colour scheme.

Thanks Greg!
I noticed the graininess with my Statue of Liberty image which I took with the MN190 so at this stage I think it might be down to processing. The little AT65EDQ is no Tak but it's a sharp little scope (at least when focuser-sag is eliminated
)
