hi Paul,

with a poor seeing like You encountered that night, You sure made the very best out of it.
I understand (some guys told me) st 2000 is quite a "noise-ball".
You know this guy?
http://hubble.heim.at/
he uses a st2000 for many years now, and he told me what he does do reduce noise.
the single subs should therfore be longer,...some 10 minutes.
and
he creates a master dark out of as many single darks as light frames.
the good thing in SBIG ccd is, the darknoise is quite constant, so You can draw those at home,...choosing exactly the same temperature of the chipas used in the night of imaging.

anyway - this image shows quite a nice amount of details! so You are off to a great color image soon,...?

best wishes
