Hmmm, I am less inclined to think the Bureau can predict weather even 3 days ahead of time; much less several months. Trends might appear to indicate El Nino but we are heading into a wet winter already. So far this month we have had nearly 60mm and the average for April is around 58mm. So who knows. I suspect El Nino has a greater impact your side of the continent than in the centre where we are. The Indian Ocean dipole is more relevant to us I think. In any event I am taking what I can at present.

Don't just apply more data to noise suppression though. This galaxy has a large halo worth teasing out.

Thanks Marcus. Since sorting out my PEC, the guiding has produced round stars consistently. I am doing some star reduction as most do these days and this can affect the roundness of the stars if the guiding slips for a bit with high cloud etc.
This is a crop but at 100% resolution. The full res image is huge and is in portrait due to guide star location, as you would know.
I had not considered the outer halo and that is just another reason to press onwards. I will have to read up on it. Thanks for the tip.
