Hi Tim,

Looking good!

I imaged Gum-15 a while ago and found that it really benefits from lots of integration time. It's not a super-bright object and can disappear into the nebulosity around it, which makes the processing tricky.

May I suggest that you try removing the stars (via starnet++ or similar tool) and working on the stars/no-stars layers separately? I found that it made a huge difference in my final images.

Cheers,
V.
