I put it down to exactly that Geoff. The brighter glossies get looked at first and then the lesser ones get some attention later. Afterall 253 is huge by comparison in terms of apparent size.

It's kind of cool that the diffraction spike from the out of field bright star so well overlaps with one of the brighter stars in the image. |
Well I have actually reverted back to the GPU temporarily. I don't think the glass of the Wynne is that sharp so I have gone back to the GPU until new adapters arrive for a paracorr type 2. Images appear sharper with the GPU and don't require a lot of sharpening to get similar results. Once the adapters arrive for the paracorr I'll be using that almost exclusively, assuming the paracorr is better than the GPU. In any event I am imaging with the AG12 as well as the GSO RC12. Lots of work being done on every clear night and that is what the objective was when I bought each scope.
