A minor nit is that at full res there's a speckly effect visible in some areas, maybe sharpened noise?

More data would help. I'll try to get some more.

The subs seemed pretty good but I have noticed that I do get some slightly eggy stars when the scope is on the east side and when on the west side they are perfect. Trying to track that down. Suggestions?

Have you taken the RHA to Bigga yet?

Mike
Yep needs more time. No work done to the stars pehaps the issue mentioned above. Yep I have taken the RHA to Bigga. Probably will do again in the near future now the weather is drying up a bit.

I also notice the minor grainy effect in the larger image.

Thanks Steve. I'll add some more data to it. I was planning to but ended up processing it as it is for now. I do like the way the image is turning out so its worth some extra effort.

Greg.
