Keep at it if this is the desired path you're keen to investigate. Also, make sure you're not downloading the precalibrated light frames from Lightbuckets - make sure you download the RAW FITS and perform calibration manually with the correct Flat based on PA.

Thanks for your thoughtful advice Jase. I can see the long road ahead but am not sure the will is up to it. Your Cats Paw, M27 and M83 are certainly examples to aspire to.
I am still waiting for a flat, so used the calibrated frames in the meantime.
Might practice a little more with the data given your comments and see if I can improve the processing.
