Cheers Al, thanks for that, I hadn't had a look at CHART32 result, I usually have in the past but have been out of the practise with all the wide angle FSQ imaging in the past year
. Needless to say, with a much bigger scope at a far superior site, the clarity and resolution of their data is in a totally different league

Thanks Simon, it is always exciting when the seeing is good

look, perhaps it would help smooth out the image a little more I guess and if I was to get similarly good seeing as I had, show a few more of the very faintest stars and make a few of the faintest galaxies a little more obvious but I recon it would be largely a waste of another 3 valuable nights, particularly if the seeing didn't cooperate, which would more likely make it worse
