Ta Greg...the stars do indeed look a little crunchy, mainly due photoshp’s image reduction from the original 7000pixel wide data. I didn’t mind “the look” so kept it...

I consider myself to be very lucky to have such a well engineered ‘scope in my observatory, but it would be soooo much better still to have it at a dark site (admittedly with narrow band, no real advantage is to be had).

Perhaps the Zeitgeist in Oz will change and the penny will finally drop that wasteful urban light spill needs to be stopped.....but I’m not holding my breath.
