Dave,
That’s a fine result from a faint Galaxy under our crappy light pollution
I’ve imaged NGC 300 a few times from my dark skies down south with the old 8” and still can’t resolve the sort of detail you’ve managed to pull out under less than ideal skies
Well done indeed !!
Your image scale using that 2600MC with that massive focal length must be around 0.30 to 0.40 super oversampled ( I’m around 0.88 in Sydney and 0.62 down south in the Dome with the 10” )
Do you use Startools, I couldn’t remember, you could Bin the crap out it to get your noise down and signal up , plus there’s a load of noise mitigating tools as well , not too many folk like using it , I certainly do
Cheers
Martin
