Yep, the Triplet was just awful, went and got a few subs on M61 and it had a few as well. Turned out it may be a wasted effort in the end. The Triplet data looked OK, but when I had processed, it had a massive gradient from the lights of Geelong (I now live on southern edge of Geelong) I thought I would be able to process the gradient out but ended up with horrible artifacts all over the masters. 6 hours of exposures and nothing to show!! The good news was that Pixinsight had no issues getting rid of the satellite trails!
