25 x 5 min exposures and 22 dark frames.
12 x 10 min exposures and 17 dark frames.
10 bias frames all at 1600 iso.
Total 4:05hr!
Images captured in BackyardEOS, stacked in Deep Sky Stacker and processed in PS5, using Scott's DSLR-LLRGB Style Processing Workflow.
Comments always appreciated.

Nice work!!
Something has gone a bit screwy in the processing of all that lovely 4hrs worth of data. I was going to suggest you try stacking it Deep Sky stacker as it seems to do a better job with deep sky objects than Registax but you have already done that with the new data. The galaxy shouldn't be all smudgy but more like your original 2hrs of data and with less noise and more depth.
