Cheers Roger - the DSI has been a great camera to learn with and is still keeping me interested more than a year later.

Allan - you'll never guess what I've been making today - almost finished cutting - no more mucking around with focus on the 10"

I've spent the last two days working through the book Photoshop Astronomy trying noise and gradient reduction techniques - here's my latest re-process of NGC1365. I think it's an improvement on my earlier processing attempt as I've managed to increase the brightness of the galaxy while reducing background noise. I've included the original attempt for comparison.

Comments and tips welcome!

Fantastic improvement Peter!

Photoshop Astronomy has to be one of best books available to us astrophotographers..

Well done mate.. A top job indeed.

Great improvement Peter - it was obvious the data was there, just needed to bring it out. Must ask how it was done
