Thanks Rick Yeah your right, I couldn't resist slewing to some other targets There were another 6 x 90 sec subs that didn't make the cut (only 9 minutes though)

Yeah , no matter what setting I had DBE on I couldn't get rid of the light areas. It did remove a huge amount of gradient but left a little. I clipped a little bit of data to darken it up , but didn't want to lose too much in the Helix.

The darks and flats may help ( I do have them). This image has neither applied. I've only had pixinsight for a bit and had just followed "Harry's tutorials", He didnt use darks or flats in his alignment and intergration process? I will have to do some reading I guess.

Cheers
