Cats Paw NGC6334

Finally got some clear skies last night and thought I'd give the DSLR a try before the moon cleared my horizon. I've been wanting to try the cats paw for some time so here it is...14x3mins, ISO800, ICNR.

I wasn't completely happy with my guiding - I think I needed it to be a bit out of balance in RA and I think this shows in the stars. I also noticed quite a bit of grain creeping in when I applied iterations of curves - something I wasn't expecting given the number of stacked images - perhaps due to my choice of settings in Deep Sky Stacker?

Comments (help) welcomed...
