Thanks Rick! I wish I could make out the fox face - I guess I don't have the pictographic imagination others have!

Thanks Paul! I did some adjustments based on your email feedback - should be a bit better now.

Must feel good to put a complete image together, interesting bit of sky Marcus, nice work

Hehe ... well, if there's nothing to see at full res (because this is not a megadata image, seeing was only average and the subject is relatively "featureless" at the fine level) why bother? This is rare for me but I'm pretty sure the current project will again see full res posts - even if it's just to see small stars and background galaxies.

It feels very good! Just finished LRGB for another target as well. NB coming soon too (if I can keep working around camera icing problems and random comms failures! )

Thanks very much Rodney!
