Great work Ken.
I hope you didn't take my comment as criticism? It wasn't meant that way.
In fact, I was unaware the original Carina image was a single frame. Which makes it even more of an achievement.
So, no, you wouldn't try and push the levels etc in a single image as per my initial suggestion
Glad it got you thinking, though. Coz these are pearlers.
Well done, mate
There's no doubt a ToUcam can take DSO images. That's why there's a long exposure mod.
However... ahhhhhh.............let's leave it there
