Generally I find galaxies need the longest exposure times.
Megadata has its own problems. Like sometimes needing different sets of flats if anything is moved in between a series. If the image does not work out (not all do) then you've lost a lot of time investment.

Thanks, Josh. Still some tweaking needed but any noticeable deficiencies in the results are down to me
