Thanks everyone,
your encouragement means a lot!
And a very special thanks to JohnG for going WAAAAAY beyond the call of duty and coming over to teach me to drift align. I nominate him for an award!
that made a huge difference beacuse it was so confusing before ("what does "if the star drifts north" mean, in the eyepiece, compared to compass points, compared to scope, is it reversed inthe eyepiece, etc etc etc)
a few key pointers made all the difference for me!
as for processing ...nothing sophisticated yet for me i'm affraid: basic levels in PS and a quick run through Noiseware, done (max time spent processing a few minutes). Anyhing to do with flats, darks, etc is beyond me still
but, hey!, I'm having fun!
thanks
frank
