Thanks, David. The Iris is a close neigbour (another mosaic panel away) so I'll be interested to watch the video.

Thanks, Raki. I have played with MaskedStretch starting with the old script and also the newer process but I've rarely been happy with the results. It usually creates artifacts that I have to patch up - things like hard cores on stars. I didn't use it on this image.
Cheers,
Rick.
