Thanks Fred, I was originally going to go for a mega data set on this object, hence why I collected more data in the colour. However I have found in recent years that having something like 3-5 hours in each colour makes a difference to the noise levels that appear in the back ground prior to the addition of the luminance layer. I don't need to blur or apply much smoothing to eliminate noise and that gives a nicer finish to the back ground in the end. It works for me and I don't mind collecting the data. Added to this is that colour saturation is easier with the increased colour signal.

Are you you the TS 3" field corrector ?

Thanks Dave, no I am not using that corrector. It does not work with these scopes I found. I spent a lot of money on adapters to try and get the right spacing but nothing ever seemed to work. I have been cropping for the last few years and just cleaning up the edge shape on the stars. I am hoping that GSO will have the new working prototype for a 3" flattener some time early this year. That way I can test it and start using the full size of the sensor.
