Thanks Marc, yeah clipped a bit there , probably because of the absence of flats I was trying to cancel out some Gradient. I did use Pixinghts DBE but couldn't remove it all.

Probably need to stop processing and posting when half asleep at 1:00am

Cheers JG, I adjusted the collimation for the hyperstar lens on this particular night, Im very pleased with the stars across the field

Thanks Jase, I appreciate yours and everyone's feedback. I'm very happy with my system and please to say I've had more happy nights out under the stars than nights with swear words

I think if I can get the flats sorted and apply dithering to the acquisition, I'll have an easier time when both pre and post processing.
