I'll miss catching up with you this year Phil and Peter. I picked up a gong in DSO section but don't think we will be attending. Yes the speakers for this years CWAS would be great to see.
Sorry for the hi-jacking Peter.

But there seems to be something going on with the colour of the milky way star background. It seems like the background is almost completely desaturated, save for some magenta (Ha?) overlay in some areas and a little patch of yellow hued stars at far bottom right. That yellow hue is what I would expect across most of the frame?
I didn't enter deep sky but can't promise you won't want to punch me on the night. Little bird says it could be some new entrants with modest gear doing themselves proud rather than 20" monsters stealing the show. Look forward to seeing many folks from IIS there again. Amazing line-up of presenters this year.. not to be missed!
cheers

Thanks again for the input guys. No-hijack apologies required.
In retrospect, my struggle with severe gradients from the light glow from a city of of close to 5 million residents has likely resulted in the lack of saturation of the field stars.....something DM is *always* very picky about
I sincerely hope to be able to catch up with one and all at CWAS/Parkes (pending the TBA outcome of my work roster for July)
My prognostication for CWAS 2015 ? I suspect I'll be taking a back seat but...
I do recall Phil's delightful comet animation...
Paul has been prolific in DSO
plus there has been an Arctic total solar eclipse
and some amazing CME solar activity (Southern Aurora?)
It will be an interesting night!
