Thanks Colin Mike Trish and Adam.

That's interesting about the PI artefact when you get to the 64k ceiling. I tried several versions of the star mask to try and get rid of it. Long Christmas break coming up so will have time to have another go at it. Maybe a clone stamp hammer approach ! But that's really fudging data

I was really pleased with the newt images. It had a problem with some sort of distortion. I thought it was coma, but after reading Multiweb's thread about a similar thing - I realised it was tilt in the focuser. I rushed off and got a moonlite which made it really easy to adjust and fix. After that I found that I could've done the same by just sticking shims under the stock focuser - which I've now done. Looks like I have a moonlite sitting around - maybe use for the teleskop-express carbon fibre newt I want to get ...
