A wonderful effort.

Thanks Ric. Its a fascinating area of the sky. Something special about irregular galaxies and how we interpret them. Thanks for checking it out.

Cheers Mike. Yes, there is still a slight magenta tint which is more pronounced around the globulars. It does not appear strong on my calibrated monitor so I'll need to check it out on another monitor to validate this. I need more data to really work these two clusters. 15min and 5 min subs are too long. Actually with the reasonable sensitivity of the STL11k operating at F/5, the Tuc47 core burnt out in 2 minutes.

Thanks Barb and David. Appreciate your comments.

I took a total of 72 subs, but didn't use all of them. There was some interesting items in some of them such as this raw 10min blue filtered sub (attached). Quite a few cosmic ray hits, but these are the norm. No discoveries, but I encourage those doing any imaging work to thoroughly check your subs. I do this anyway to determine the quality of each frame and whether I'll include it in the combine function.
Anyway, I haven't stopped learning yet. So I guess I'll keep at it.
