Thanks Scotty, It was good to have some new data to play with after a couple of months.

Thanks very much Paul! I normally just go with what ever PI's colour cal comes up with but with this one, I pushed the red channel in curves a bit to showcase a bit data/signal. Perhaps I pushed it a touch to far creating the brown?

MINOR POINT...The wavelet/sharpening ie bright thin lines, is still juuust visible though ..maybe a slight re-blend to satisfy my obsessive compulsive wavelet/decon phobia....please? ...or, just ignore me

Mike

Thanks Mike! Yeah I get dizzy when M17 is in any other position.

Ah yes You know what Mike, every time I include my decon routine in the work flow, I have a little Mike Sidonio sitting on my shoulder whispering "That's too many iterations, back it off a bit or he'll notice" I did also do some wavelet sharpening at the end too, maybe that was too much?

Thanks Marc! Yeah the stars are getting better I think? I have noticed I have a bit of backlash in RA that I could probably tighten up mechanically, which may help guiding and results in future. The full image is a 50% resample of the full res and the biggest resolution I've posted, so I'm slowly gaining confidence in data acquisition and processing.
