I think this is probably my best image so far. It's composed of about 300 or so Subs of mixed exposures and ISO, and add up to 12,480seconds These are over processed but I'm working on it.
Here I used the defaults in APP for stacking, then did the lpr,bc,and scc followed by saturation of 35 with threshold of 0.1. Imported into light room to saturate more, dehaze and adjust clarity followed by background and noise clean up in PS.

Hi Greg,
Nice result ! Lots of signal present 😉
If you are saving the data to process in another application or just for finishing up, I recommend to put the saturation threshold value to 0.2 or 0.25, that will prevent injecting chromatic noise into your sky background 😉 while still adding saturation to the nebula and stars.
