Have a look under the Custom Functions menu; if it has an entry called Noise Reduction -- that is it.

HOWEVER, I dont know whay they say in point 4 to paste the LONG exposure into the mask, I get much better results if I pase the SHORT exposure into the mask. That was the inner detail of the short exposure appears, and the faint outer detail of the long exposure is maintained.

Interesting Scott. I have always pasted the long exposure into the maks and manipulated it to allow the shorter exposure to come through.

I can see that we will have to get together around a computer one day.

Nice shot BTW

cheers

Thanks.
Yes I tried using the long exposure but wasnt happy with the result, it seemed to dim the outer detail a bit, unless I wasnt doing it quite right, but using the short exposure in the mask did the trick.
