Thanks Greg

5 minuts subs - binned x2 for RGB and unbinned for Lum. I find it hard to justify shifting from that setup as it works well for this rig. I have it pre-programmed in CCD Navigator so its the default setting for all my images.

Can't work out how to rotate in PI (other than by 90 degrees) - though I am sure there is a way. So I cropped and rolled it that way - its not centred and I have cropped more than I would like but I do see how the visual appeal is improved by the framing. I haven't given much thought to that in the past - I'm more interested in finding a guide star - but I see why you are keen on it.
