I think the chip that runs these cameras will become a pivotal point in cmos imaging as they are just so clean, and go quite deep quite quickly.
Your image is fine, it’s smooth enough that you can run a bit of deconvoltion to bring out a bit more detail, I also did this target and like you tried the Ha…. It didn’t make much difference to me either really.

Cheers Clive - seeing was definitely less than ideal during the imaging run.
I did try a small amount of sharpening on the galaxy but it didn't improve the image. As far as the Ha goes I think a better image scale would help there (& possibly longer Ha integration - I only had about 40 mins worth).
Imaging with the DSLR on the MN190 didn't show up temperature related focus shift as much, I guess due to bigger pixels & less overall resolution. I'll just have to get into the habit of checking focus more regularly & perhaps investing in a Bahtinov mask to suit.
