Thanks Ric,

I had another look through the frame list today and handpicked the
clearest 112 of the better 215frames.
This brings the noise back up (more frames in a stack improves signal
to noise), but it survives unsharp mask sharpening and edge preserving
smooth a bit better.
I think it's a tad clearer(except for the noise).
EDIT: mag estimate courtesy Aladin sky server

Sorry about the unconventional North facing down presentation...I do
that a lot in my images
