Great photo there Steveo! I do a fair bit of looking only through my newtonian and I dont think this has come up in my crosshairs. I had the same setup as yourself. The 183 is a great camera. I only ever added darks due to amp glow and used zero gain. Did you try a stack without flats and dark flats? I find that this works at times. And noise...I found more time will alleviate noise as you well know but you may have had some bad seeing conditions up top. Great pic mate.
