Thanks Paul. We're trying to find the magic point where the colour saturation is strong enough to see astrophysically important differences without a fight, just as one would hope to see astrophysically important brightness differences, or differences in position, without a fight, but no stronger.

Thanks hugely Mike. We're going to have to get you to come and stay over for a couple days some time soon. It's only a tiny four hour drive!
