Thanks Martin. Fair comment - I guess I overdid the noise reduction. For some reason the data was very noisy and I had gradients to contend with too. Don't know where the gradients came from given that the scope is out in the Arizona desert. BTW do you think 5 hours is enough Ha to blend in for a galaxy? Eventually I got Chris Schur's method to work but it took a lot of juggling to get a reasonable looking result.

How long did you spend processing to come up with this result?

Thanks Justin. Far too long. I eventually got sick of it.
