That's great noise reduction when you can remove noise without affecting faint signal areas. Very expert.

As you know I am indeed not scared of noise. To me it is rare that noise reduction isn't obvious. Many great galaxy images, even by some big names, show the blended noise reduction quite clearly and you particularly see this most plainly in many DSLR images taken in summer. I often leave a bit of noise in to save detail too..but in this case after being initially happy with the slight noise I worked on it in the end and was careful not to impart too much, it helps when the signal is good in the first place and even on such a faint field 260min Lum with 12" at F3.8 under a dark sky helps.
