M104 - latest DSI attempts

Spent most of last night trying to get a reasonable image of M104. My polar alignment wasn't good so I stuck to short subs (15 secs) but stacked a lot of them (100+).

I've tried a few different processing options including Envisage stacked, RGB combine and Deep Sky stacker. Here's the Envisage Stacked (120x15 secs) and Deep Sky Stacker versions. There are a lot more subs (6 times) in the DSS version as I was able to pull together all the individual exposures. The RGB was a waste of time. The extra subs has improved the image compared to last weeks attempts.

Thanks for looking.
