Clear night last night, but it's a dim target, and tbh I think it'd need a lot more than one night to do it justice - might add some more data later.

Gorgeous image! I don't know what your acquisition details are but you've pulled a lot out from one night. Great job!

Really nice - is that a SY135 shot?

Sorry chaps, should have added more details.

5 hours of images - 10 min subs with asi2600.

You may need to update the kit listed in your signature😁

So I had another play with this - the large amount of noise needs some more creative processing I think. So I played about in affinity with bringing more stars back in the dark areas, and increasing constrast and detail in the nebula areas.

I think it looks a lot deeper now ? No AI stuff anywhere. Note especially the extra detail in the question marks full stop.

 

I might do a youtube video on processing this one in case the techniques are useful to others.

Lovely depth! It looks very 3d.
must have great skies to get that much signal in 5 hours.

Youtube video would be great although a post with details would be even better.  Personally i find videos too linear but either would be fun to look at.
