How much of your processing is done in AA?
I'm still learning the ropes, haven't had too many ah-ha moments but to be honest I'd be just as lost in any package (PI, Nebulosity, MaxIm etc.)

Cheers Simon, yeah I guess revealing the unicorns horn is a sign that I got it over some sort of line huh?
I do all the camera control, image capture, sub frame aligning, data reduction (
but no darks and no flats so not much'o that these days
), the RGB combine, ddp sharpening and stretch and log stretching in Astroart, most other things are done in PS

Thanks Steve, funny, every image I have taken of the Trifid since about 2004 was done in poor conditions, I can't get a break on this one
2009: wind, bad seeing, high cloud
2007: Poor seeing and wind
2006: poor seeing - but hey..no guiding! - I turned it off so the autoguiding wouldn't chase the seeing = the NJP
is a great mount
2006: poor seeing and high cloud again
aaaand
early 2004: can't find the log notes for this one..but I was a fledgling CCD imager then...can you tell?
