Thanks Mike, I agree it does look like a cockatoo more than a seagull. I guess someone thought it was the best name for it as many across the planet could identify with seagull rather than cockatoo.

Thanks Glen. I am still wrangling with the other AG12. I have purchased another GPU corrector and awaiting delivery. Soon enough I will have that up and running too. The supplied correctors require too much fiddling and high frustration.
I have Pixinsight but really like the tools I learnt in PS6. The names in Pix are indecipherable to me. Besides I own PS6 and am not forced to rent the new versions. It is bizarre having to pay for Dreamweaver just to publish my images to my webpage.

Thanks Mike, I wrangled with the process on this one for sometime. It required a fair bit of blending to bring out certain features and bandwidths. Still not really 100% on it but in the end it was a compromise.

Whilst I prefer the traditional way of composition with astro photographs (that being in the centre) I think in this instance it needed to be offset somewhat to show the lower right and give some idea where the image was looking.
