Hi Paul

Great image, well done.

Ludite alert...

On that decon thing, what you need to watch for is that those tendrils in your image look like a string of beads when you zoom in, but when you look at the image you are comparing against, specifically the tendrils, it's a continuous line, no beads.

What's happening is that the Decon is effectively making stuff up based on the PSF so you have to go at it really really lightly and select your stars carefully. You don't need much Decon at all to take something that's a bit soft because of seeing or slightly off focus to a different level. Decon isn't an alternative to good seeing or focus but it does help.

So when you are completely fed up looking at the same image, think beads..if you didn't expect to see them, you shouldn't be seeing them.

Love Thors helmet by the way. Really complex and you have done a good job.
