Thanks Dave, I'm enjoying watching and learning from others and love the pics you (and others) are posting. I think you were spot on re DeNoise; I'm new to the program and am learning that it's a powerful tool and a little goes a long way. I've just been playing with it for the past hour and it seems at even the lowest settings, ie. a light touch, it will produce a very visible change in imagery. Soooooo here is another version of there same image but with less DeNoise applied which makes it look coarser/grainier - I prefer this image over my earlier attempt!

I'm quite surprised how visible some very faint background galaxies are with only 1hr 50 mins of data. I've attached another pic I found on the internet that names some of them (from here: https://asterisk.apod.com/viewtopic.php?t=42238). I can see:

LEDA 3097829 (or [CFC97] Cen 5) 16th mag http://simbad.cds.unistra.fr/simbad/...=LEDA+3097829&
ESO 219-25 http://simbad.cds.unistra.fr/simbad/...nt=ESO+219-25&
6dFGS gJ130634.9-493149 http://simbad.cds.unistra.fr/simbad/...0634.9-493149&

NGC4945A is also visible with a bright foreground star.
