The nebulosity pops more now though which is great!

Yes, we can see that. Got an idea how it happened. See what we can do. Thanks for the helpful and constructive feedback.

I just finished processing a wide field of this but with nowhere near the hours and it tells. If you are at the imaging meet tonight it would be interesting to see how it comes out using Goodlook.

Well done guys.

Thanks, David. Eagerly awaiting your version.

Thanks Andy! RGB stars !!!! These are not the droids we are looking for ...

Hi, Phil. Great to hear from you, and thanks for the helpful feedback. Can think of a couple reasons why the stars might have come out a bit weak. Should be easy to fix.

Annoyingly clear sky out there at the moment, but with almost full moon and quite a gale.

Best,
Mike and Trish
