Even if its bad, it shows the data is in there, you just need to use photoshop, and keep working the image to bring it out..

I'll download your shots from the other day (that I forgot to do until now) and see whats in there...

Be careful when working with levels, as its easy to clip the black in search of a dark, smooth background in your image... better to have a bit of a gradient, and a bit of noise, than to clip the black and lose valuable data.
I tried to bring out more, but it just got noisier. Oh well, practice, practice. Might start from orig stacked and try again.

Is there ever a quick art to processing, or do even the pro's battle for hours on end tweaking images to try and get it just right? lol

I have the 'New Astro - Zone System for Astro Imaging' book, Im going to get stuck into.

Thanks again for the feedback
