Many thanks! Although it's not a competition. Your image of M106 is actually very good, far better than some of my previous attempts. I've posted my image of M1. It's come out really well with some of the changes in technique, I was able to stretch the image far more and reveal a lot more data. I intended to do M109 tonight but ended up re-dong M106 again using the technique that I used on M1. So it will be interesting to see if I have an improvement on it. I may even add the stacks together to see what else I can get out of it.

Look forward to seeing the final result. I ended up having a bash as M1 last night. The initial results look much better than my previous attempts at it, although my guiding was as not as good as I have had previously. I suspect something was either dragging or the balance was off a little.
