I'm not undermining the effort required at all, especially to fix tilt, Just a bit surprised.

What is not surprising is that many others can get more out of my data than I can. These efforts vary from the sublimely subtle to too much enhanced real information. We all know who was close to ideal as judged by his more knowledgable peers.
I knew I was not doing something quite correct by the comments or constructive criticism of some of the 'old pros'.
This exercise was basically a learning experience for me and I hope others.
What I have come to realize is I still have a long way to go. I also now know the general direction I should take.
I did not want to just blindly plod on in the mistaken belief that the best equipment produces the best results without knowledge and practised skills.
The only winning I am interested in is by doing better than I did last week. After all this is a hobby that hones the mind to wonder at the beauty and immensity in both time and space of what we are imaging.
