It really is a fabulous scope and camera combo, I feel very lucky and fortunate Rod

Well done!

The colours look great but you seem to have posterized some blues - especially within 6559.
BTW, you need to find a nice block of land under dark skies and build a house so you can just walk to your observatory!

Indeed I do...we still haven't pulled the switch...procrastination is rampant...
Yes, I saw the slight posterisation of the teal/blues in a couple of places late last night (actually early this morning

) and went Doh!

...oh man, sheesh...and given I was so far down the processing track, weighed it up and thought that must have happened in the OIII blend stage

and I didn't play close enough attention

...but it's pretty minor really (annoying to a perfectionist I guess

)...I'll fix it later

if you look at the image at 67% in your browser I recon you would be hard pressed to notice it
