Very nice image of a great galaxy Marc
Yes the noise reduction can make an image look a pit plastic sometimes but your image still looks good to me.
Looooooove your kit and observatory



you and I have effectively the same equipment really just different models/brands:

We just purchased a house in Newcatsle.... with no bloody sky access (I gave in to the wifes love of trees

) so I am now thinking of seting up at a dark site somewhere

or I'll never get to image

and a Sirius dome setup like yours is a possibility?
