Thanks again for your comments. It's definitely inspired me to do some more deep-space stuff when time and skies permit.

This image tells me that you have just about got what you can out of the deep sky imaging equipment you have...time to upgrade to see appreciable improvements I think?
If it isn't clear for at least one full night at Lostock..I will bear hug you in public at the group photo

Yeh I think you're right - more data and darker skies, along with better processing can still give improvements with my current gear, but a modded camera and a sharp refractor would probably give the greatest improvements.
And the bear hug - you say it like it's a bad thing!?

lol I couldn't stay up all night doing it - being able to sleep while it does it makes it bearable

Thanks Dean - I used to just try and do deep space stuff at darker skies but this image shows that it can still produce reasonable results from urban skies at home.

The skies will be dark, Fred. I just can't guarantee how clear

Thanks Gary - my processing was very "simple" on this one, i'm sure there's more that could be done but I've learnt that less is more most times.
Thanks again all.
