Yes I was rapt with the performance of the Tak extender. Takahashi rocks. It makes the TEC180 more versatile now as I can shoot at 2016mm focal length with improved correction. I also have a 4 inch Tak reducer which I will get an adapter for which will give me F5.25 at 180mm aperture which has a lot of potential for extremely high res wider field.
1365, I believe, would be an excellent target for Marc's C11/Hyperstar setup. It would be interesting to compare your images with those taken by Marc with his setup.

It would be a nice target and a C11 has plenty of aperture to capture some photons.

Noise Ninja helps as does the blur tool. Sometimes there can be a bit of noise in the dim areas of the arms of galaxies. You may then need to do some selective sharpening as it can lose some detail.
