Mike

Thanks Mike. I have had troubles with star shapes and guiding as I think everyone does from time to time. This is only the second time I've used the AO-X, both times on Eta Carinae, so given that I think this is the sharpest Eta I've ever done I think you could say the AO-X has improved things. I don't think it's a uniform cure-all though.

Greg.

Thanks Greg. It turned out well given the small amount of OIII. Maybe I'll get some SII too if I can.

Thanks Allan. Honestly I don't think it's as good as you say it is.

Tip o' the hat Steve....the superb resolution in this effort is a new benchmark.

Well done!

Thanks Peter. I must admit I'm a bit surprised at the extravagant praise as I think there are better etas than this out there. Jay Gabany's shot with a 12.5" RC for example.
