Funny, you beat me to the punch - we must have been imaging the same subject at the same time . Only just started processing my version though.

Thanks Marcus, yeh I recon some get just a bit hung up on noise at times (Err like I do on not losing faint smudges ) and generally this results in a kind of forced or panic induced plastic look or over smoothed look etc which I think looks much worse than the noise. I have always been ok with a small amount of noise as long, as you say, it doesn't detract from the overall imapct of the image, I am sure it is just a thing I have...like the propensity of a blue bias in my images too

So your gear is back, that's great, we imaged the Orion Nebula around the same time remember so I am sure your rendition of 6744 will be pretty awesome too
