I managed in the end to get rid of the noise, turns out that some of the dark frames were adding noise rather than canceling it out. I am in Bortle 8 skies so fairly washed out I got 1hr on M45 and 1hr20 on M31 I will aim for more data next time so I can get more detail. I'm happy I managed to pull my first image of M31 from it though

I assume that the amount of noise I have gathered in these images will be due to temperature. It was easily around 20C in the evening these images were captured.

Thanks for taking a look. That's odd. When I start processing in pixinsight or ps I see a lot of noise, maybe I'll try again

Hi Guys, I have been trying to process 2 images taken the other night with my modified 450d, it was rather hot that evening. I have 2 stacked files of M31 and M45. Would some of you be able to look into the images see if they can be processed at all or is the noise going to wash them both out? https://1drv.ms/u/s!At2HsbO3QDb65yoMkUKbDDiPD550?e=K6Mudf Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys, Just a quick question. Is the HEQ5 non pro with synscan good for images? What are the main differences compared to the HEQ5 Pro? Is the HEQ5 non pro a good mount to go for if the price is right? Regards.
