Jordo, I use ASTAP for sub analysis and stacking, SIRIL and GIMP. I might consider Pixinsight as I progress with the hobby. Do you know how much it costs?
Alex, I did use 30 each of darks, flats and dark flats. I just think this target is at the limits of my ability and equipment. Each individual sub was virtually a white out.
My telescope was almost parallel to the ground (15 degrees) shooting this target from Brisbane suburbs. No external filter. There was a lot of atmosphere to shoot through and there was some moon lurking also. It also challenged my cable management. The guiding was also a challenge. It is however a great Northern hemisphere target and I might try to get more data.
Kuz, it is a great target and worth a go, especially further north from gladsome. Good luck.
Cheers, Rob

hey rob pixinsight is expensive. it does have a 30day free trail. what got me into pix was youtube and all these custom made scripts people make witch are very powerful and many are free to use. i noticed your image has abit of a gradient and very small amount of banding from the dslr witch is all normal and can be removed (:
