Hi Francis.

Well done on the capture of these Galaxies.It looks a bit noisey to me and calibration frames would defo improve the overall image.The Galaxies seem to be a bit overexposed,with blown out cores,however you proberbly know this.

Still a nice capture.

Thanks Mick, Yes pushed really hard in PS and definitely needs more subs long and short. I'll try processing through APP that seems to deal with noise better. 

Process in APP and PS. Less noise but background dust has gone. More data needed...
