Thanks Brendan but I'm affraid 120mm is the biggest appature I have so 120 at 15minutes will have to do me at the moment. I will have to just get lots more exposure time overall to make the signal pop above the noise level.
I can of course smooth out the background easy enough but you can't make the galaxy signal jump without more exposure. Looking at another couple ofr hours tonight and maybe a couple more tomorrow if the weather holds.

It's hard imaging one target night after night or in this case, week after week but it is interesting to see the image grow with each additional sub frame.

Thanks again everyone.
