I think that's brought out the nebulosity a bit better. Wonder if more subs would help smooth thing out, does look a bit grainy/ noisy.

I agree, more subs are needed. I have been working on it this morning and no matter what I do it does not improve it any. I just need a few more clear nights and will go back to this. I love the detail but its just not clean enough.
