Thanks guys. I'm really grateful for your positive comments and the encouragement is always welcome. I'm thrilled that there was some improvement and that's the main thing for me at the moment, even if the image quality still has some way to go. I'm just focusing on making those little 1% steps forward. The image suffered a far bit from poor seeing and super-high humidity. That's OK. I'll just keep getting out there in the hope I'll get one of those 8.5-9/10 nights of great seeing one of these days real soon. I'm just really happy I'm imaging, and quietly fine tuning my skills for when that crackerjack night arrives!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the way, Rob, got some advice/tips/suggestions on the Astra Image processing? I'm a bit hopeless after Registax. Come to think of it, I'm not too flash in Regi either (LOL)
