Love the blink. :-)

I'm happy with it in general - I would prefer to have a flatter image - less noise in the dark areas and a bluer image too. But yes very happy with the nebulosity. I was super pleased with that, since Pleiades is a hard shot for me to get. Patience over months .... My obs walls are a bit high so shooting times are short.

thanks for the tip - Bloody photoshop... It's why I bought Pixinsight... :-) back to square one then eh!
