Couldn't agree more. We keep finding that we go to add a bit more to something we did before, but we've learned so much in the interim that often as not the old data goes in the shredder - moon was up, too windy, bad seeing, bad choice of sub length, low in the sky, scudding cloud, bit of dew, or going back a long way, sometimes the old gear wasn't up to it, collimation or alignment or balance was off, or there was backlash or the focus tube wasn't stiff enough. Tiny bits of all of those things, all adding up. So sometimes we've improved our technique, sometimes we're just lucky.

In this particular case, it's almost heart-breakingly good what you've achieved in a serendipidous fill-in shot.

Bravo!
