So, finished processing the last 2 remaining datasets from the first week of April, when we finally had some clear nights sfter the horrible winter in The Netherlands. Not that I think you guys in the UK had any more luck than us Dutch folks.

First object was shot in the night of April 2/3, and has NGC 4725 & 4747 in the field of view. It spans 6 hours of exposure (36x10 min, ISO 800), calibrated with 30 darks, 50 bias and 41 flats. Captured with Nebulosity 2.4.4 and reduced with DSS3.3.2. Post-processing by DLSR-LRGB in PS CS3.

Second object features NGC 5033 & 5005 and was shot on the nights of April 6/7 (only 3 frames as the clouds rolled in out of nowhere) and April 7/8 and spans 6 hours of exposure (3 + 33x10 min, ISO 800)), calibrated with 30 darks, 50 bias and 41 flats. Captured with Nebulosity 2.4.4 and reduced with DSS3.3.2. Post-processing by DLSR-LRGB in PS CS3. I was amazed about the details visable in NGC 5005, especially considering that most of the data was captured through high clouds (see screencap from sat24, red arrow marks my location).
