Description

My first attempt at this target. The extended dark regions are pushing the noise limits of my uncooled 12 bit DSLR. Shooting at ISO400 has resulted in significantly more star colour, however perhaps this has been at the extent of noise in the darker dust lanes.

At 125 x 5 min dithered subs I am probably close to the ceiling SNR. Any further improvements in noise and resolution will most likely now come from improved processing. i'm using Pixinsight, but I am still learning, so any advice is most welcome.
