Thanks Lee. With my current workflow, I don't get to see my results until I've finished shooting (usually when the clouds arrive), but this will change one day....

SubframeSelector is a really nice PI script for checking the quality of your subs. It analyses FWHM, Eccentricity, SNR, etc. and allows you to select the subs to keep and reject manually or automatically. The author has built a collection of useful tools: http://pixinsight.com/forum/index.php?topic=5712.0

Cheers,

Thanks Rick. I am pleased with the detail too. I compared the core region with an ESO pic and couldn't see any more detail in theirs. I've had a quick look at the PI forum and that script looks to be the bee's knees. What can be done with PI never ceases to amaze me.

I've tried 2 minutes and that's too long. It would be good to get some longer exposures one day though.
