This data was captured in March this is a stack of just 13 x 240 second frames out of 40 captured using a USB to ethernet converter to allow me to stay in the warm indoors! Communication was repeatedly lost, so in future I'll be using  Teamviewer to connect the capturing laptop to the pc indoors. 

9.25 SCT CGX ASI294MC Pro. Captured with NINA, processed in Pixinsight.

That is very nice. Lots of detail in the main spiral arms, and well resolved tidal tails. I think that is excellent for the limited exposure time.

Thanks OE

The final jpg looks a bit blocky/blotchy! And the overall soft focus is disappointing but overall it's not too bad!
