Thanks guys, I appreciate your comments.
The banding was more visible on the full resolution - I'll see if I can do a 100% crop and show it. Interestingly, it looked like it had a *pattern* when viewed at 67% in Photoshop, but that could just be the resolution and the scaling in Photoshop.
I do love capturing these areas of the milky way. One day I'd love to do a mosaic at a slightly higher res, or even just the same with a much faster lens and more exposure.
I had another 15 minutes worth of data but the 10 min one didn't stack well and the 5 minute one I forgot to put ICNR on.
Thanks again, it's so nice to be taking and processing astrophotos again. I'm quite sure I won't be back into it full time just yet (very busy couple of months coming up) but i'll certainly be trying to get to regular new moon meets.
