Sombrero 2nd attempt

Hi All,

after a dissapointing view of jupiter and the moon, thanks to my pine trees which i threatened with a chainsaw, I decided to give sombrero another shot. I spent close to 2 hours capturing data and used the best frames which had no visible star trails.

1st Picture - 1st attempt
2nd Picture - 2nd attampt

15 x 30sec subs @ISO 1600 RAW
15 x 30sec subs @ISO 3200 RAW
30 Darks @ ISO1600 & ISO3200 (total)
30 BIAS @ ISO1600 & ISO3200 (total)
Finished in Lightroom

I am happy with the results, the end result has alot more detail in it than my first attempt. But there seems to be some digital noise and i am unsure on how to process more of the noise out of the picture?

Im expecting my OAG and QHY-5 on friday, very excited!!!!!!!!! just keep your eyes out for the "OAG Troubles" post on friday night lol

I would greatly appreciate any pointers, or comments on how to improve the quality
