NGC 2070 Tarantula Nebula ( additional data ) and Startools workflow

Captured some additional data on the Tarantula ( total of 4.6 hrs now ) early last week to complete this mini project. I only get a window of around 1.5 hrs a night on the Tarantula due to my roof and council tree.
Pretty happy with the final result under Bortle 7/8 skies and also the fact that I’m aiming directly over a roof top 6m away with some thermal convection early in the evening.

Same rig as usual
6” f6 GSO Bintel Newt
Skywatcher EQ6-R pro mount
ZWO 2600MC cooled to -10C , Gain 100
TS Optics GPU coma corrector
Antlia ALPT 2” Dualband OSC NB filter
Total 140 x 2 min dithered guided subs
40 x 3 Flats ( 3 nights )
60 x Bias
Stacked in DSS ( Multiple Nights method using reference frame)
Processed in Startools V1.8 via Compose OSC Bi Colour Narrowband

Attached my basic workflow using Startools for folk who use it ( it may offer some ideas and help , who knows)
I know most folk use PI , APP , PS and the like on this forum but it’s there if you ever want to give ST a trial ?

Comments welcome
Thanks
