How small we are....

Can I ask what you do exactly with the drizzling of data such as this.
Thanks, Tim. We are small indeed!

When significantly undersampled, I use drizzle integration to increase the resolution, usually by a factor of two, and then downsample when I finish processing if the data doesn't quite hold up at full res. With the AP140 set up at 2.4 arcsec/pixel I'm invariably undersampled even in terrible seeing. This time I doubled the res and then did a final resample at 75% to give a 50% resolution increase over the original data.

Hope that answers your question?

Thanks, Louie. I thought that was a reflection initially but it has a PGC number so I think it's yet another galaxy. There are supposed to be some faint tidal tails between members of the quartet and I was hoping to capture them but I can't see them even with averted imagination
