Thanks Chris, its always a test trying to bring out the detail and maintain a natural look.
You must be getting some clear skies down there. None up here over the new moon and I've been on holidays at home. So rebuilt my stepper focuser, made a cover for my newt (to stop light coming in the back), cleaned its mirrors, and sorted out SGPro (I like the autofocusing and meridian flip!). Still no clear skies. But enough of my whinging.

Has been some good clear nights down here at last. It's frustrating when you finish modifying your equipment and want to test it out and the weather is lousy.

Coma corrector will make a big diff from my experience, flattens everything out and provides sharper/focused signal across the image.

Actually 12mins but who's counting! The seeing was pretty good that night, it makes such a difference, especially from light polluted skies. Yes, the coma corrector will make cropping my images a thing of the past!
You've been a bit quiet lately John, are you working on something at the moment that you have yet to post that will soon stun us all in awe?

Thanks, I used Layers in Photoshop. I've tried using all the different exposure times in DSS and it didn't do as good a job on it as a manual blend in PS.
