Hi Robert

To some the extract might appear as an over processed cartoon.
However I have been experimenting to solve issues we all face.
1: How to deal with a bright object next to a feint one.
I used tiles so that each area could be exposed differently.
ie: the Star is a different tile to the Nebula.
2: How to acheive and retain colour.
I am developing a technique using incremental stretching (lets say 5 steps).
At each step I save off a copy and can then use it to get colour samples.
The samples are then used in the final result.
A lot of stuffing around, and the extract is a result of the above techniques.
Anyway, last night was so clear guiding accuracy was down to fractions of an arc secound, and I had the lowest HFR ever!
