Unfortunately you are hitting an "equipment spec wall" that is pretty hard to breach.

This is a tough target for a DSLR/CMOS. While they are excellent tools for wide field/ bright object imaging, dark objects in less than pristine skies are very difficult to capture well.

is a great example of a better tool for the job....

The cynics may cry "Sure, there is always a bigger fish!" but this is not the point of my response.

Sometimes it really is a case of "don't force it...simply use a bigger hammer"
