Thanks Louie, the conditions weren't all crap, in fact really only one of the 4 nights was truly
crap so I collected some of the colour data then, on the first night after I did the meridian flip the seeing settled nicely and I got 90min of Lum that saw some really sharp subs, so I layered that back in to bring out the inner detail inside that 3' core area
I had to use
all the Lum data though to get the outer faint arms to show well..not ideal and as they were too faint to sharpen would really need much longer periods of good seeing to get that
all good though
Cheers mate

Ahhhh yes... 17 hours with 12" at F3.8
is pretty useful but alas I think the highly lauded "mega" data level juuust keeps growing
THANKS TO YOU
