Yanking Markarian's Chain (Sic)

First light for my new ASI1600MM-Pro - my original ASI1600MM cooling failed, long story, will try to get a repair done.....
This is a 4hr total exposure image, so not quite as deep as Emil's version posted yesterday.  I used APP, PI, PS and the new Topaz AI noise reducing tool, which worked rather well. I also put the IDAS D2 filter back into the optical chain as the path behind my house has been changed to LED and has messed up broadband RGB with horrendous gradients - the IDAS D2 doesn't remove gradients 100% but at least I got colour into the image..
I found this great article on Skye and Telescope website  Yanking Markarian's Chain  written by Bob King -  hence topic title....

30 subs of each filter LRGB x 120s

Note: I am aware there is a faint slightly curved wide'ish line from top Middle right of image down to bottom right - very confused as no subs had any satellite tracks, none of flats show this artifact - so for time being I'm posting this but will continue to investigate,

thanks again for looking and any comments you may have,

Bryan

That is well done ! Nice capture !

Always a cracking target. Well done.

Nitpicking over small defects somehow misses the point...

@rl point taken, I know its a trait en-grained in me as a design engineer, always looking at the problems still to solve rather than look at how much has been achieved. thanks for the positive feedback , appreciate it.

@celestron8g8 thank you
