Ok...it's worth another ...Now to get the full row of'em...can you get just a little more intensity back into the star centres? they look just a tad washed out...THEN it will be prefect ....aaaaand you will have created one of the all time best versions of this area IMO.

Thanks for the strong encouragement Allan.



There's a section along the left hand edge where we have insufficient data, and there are cosmic rays, hot pixels, and even a satellite trail. Must see if we can fix that with another night or two.

Sometimes it seems a shame to get rid of cosmic rays - they are after all amongst the most distant and violent things we ever get to capture. Pity they're just random and non-reproducible. Evidence of stuff going on, but we'll never know what.
