Thanks Colin and I agree more colour data will help this image. It is clear here today so I might get a few more hours on it tonight before I move onto something else.

Colin was correct. The inherent flex in the focuser is cause star shapes to change slightly, so it is better to do all the colour on one side of the meridian to get consistent airy disk shapes.

Whilst it is good to have flipped images in the stack for a giant dithering effect, it is problematic for flexure related issues.

Thanks Peter, yes I am using a TS GPU coma corrector. It is very good at dealing with the coma but very fickle when it comes to tilt. It is a speed boat for imaging but a pain to get sorted for consistent results. I am sure it will be excellent once I get it all dialled in.
