Thankyou Allan! The scaling down helps too but it does hint at the clarity at full res. If I can get another session with as-good conditions I'll post at full res.

Thanks Colin! Yes, I was blown over by the structure of this beastie. I've got everything crossed for another good long session but weather here sucks most of the time. Whenever I get a night of clear stable conditions it feels like Christmas!!

Thanks a lot Greg! Scaling down always helps make things look crisp but, seeing permitting, the final full res should be impressive, especially after decon. At 2 arcsec seeing (what I consider "good to very good" around here) I'm oversampling enough for decon to work well.

You're too kind Marc - thanks mate! I did notice that the full res ESO shot is a bit noisy, but look past that and the detail is gorgeous. I'll get close to it but of course a 2.2m will always win!
