Thanks Suavi. Diminishing returns is getting savage already, id have to get into many triple digits to make any more improvement

Nice to see you back

Mike

Thanks Mike. I wasnt away, just quite, lurking, enjoying your work for one actually !. The hrs have downsides, you seem to just not need them as much anyway

Ive tried to find what it is. Astrometry.net didnt indicate anything from memory, and now its not working to check again. Ill keep looking.
