Yes I can see that you left some residual noise there to maintain some res and detail
I noticed your still using Gain 0 for short subs in heavy LP ? I’m sold on Gain 100 after my testing , definitely reduces noise but no loss in DR
Maybe give it a go ?
There some good posted threads and reading on CN regarding the 2600MC and Gain
Back to cloudy nights again …….

Thanks Martin- Sculptor is quite interesting in that it’s quite bright -virtually its entirety was revealed within about 2hrs integration, but the extra time was useful for smoothing things out and teasing out some core detail.
LOL your “toy” telescope is flaming awesome mate!
Good pickup with the gain- yes I’ve started shooting at 100 as of about a month ago and will give that a good crack and see how things go. This project pre-dates that change so still all gain0 data. I’m 90% planetary mode now with the c14 probably till the end of the year but yes it’s looking promising- I did ngc300 at gain100 and it worked well, but maybe not as big an improvement I was hoping for.
