Thanks Dennis, I do agree with what you have said. Got the focus and the guiding pretty good and happy with my color balance but might have processed it a bit better to try and keep some of the finer details.
Cheers Gary

I'd expect you may have picked up some faint cometary globs, but these are not present. You may want to investigate selection techniques such as the colour range tool and feathering so you are only smoothing the dim noisy areas but leaving the show piece/focus point alone. Well done.

thanks Jase for that info! I shall give it another go and try to mask the neb from my aggressive noise removal.
thanks again Gary

Seriously, thanks and I shall be posting a few more images soon as the weather has been kind up here the last few days..
I posted the final stacked image after Deepskystacker has done its magic so you can see what sort of noise I had to remove. Feel free to have a go at it or advice to what else I could do to remove it.
cheers Gary
