After another couple of hours of tweaking the new scope, I got 40 minutes on M16 before it got too low in altitude.
Processing fairly simple - no decon or noise reduction. Background extraction, and histogram stretch. Finished in PS with some differential curve adjustment to control the dynamic range, and a little selective sharpening.
I don't have the facility to show high res full frame images.
For what it's worth, here is the central 4% of the full frame area. Again, there is no noise reduction or decon - it's pretty much as-shot, with the processing originally described.
As it shows on my screen, it is the size corresponding to a full frame print of about 1.1m square. Hope this helps
