The technique fails miserably with small faint background galaxies, but seems good for extended stuff. Will have something to show soon.

That said, your shots are hugely sharper than ours!

Best,

Yes my seeing contributes to that sharpness. Often quite good. I might have to try 2x2 binning on the helix as a test myself to get that faint stuff out.
